Program Opportunities
The Raptor Rehabilitation Center has a number of opportunities for people of all ages. There are many educational programs as well as volunteer opportunities. Educational Programs Come to The Raptor Rehabilitation Center for a visit or field trip or have us come to your school or organization with an outreach program. In a 45-minute to one-hour presentation, you'll learn more about raptors, find out about the process of rehabilitation, hear about the mission of The Raptor Rehabilitation Center, and enjoy a rare opportunity: the chance to get a close-up look at live eagles, hawks, owls, and falcons. You'll surely be swept away by their regal bearing and wild beauty. Educational programs at The Raptor Rehabilitation Center are available by reservation for individuals, families, and groups of all ages. In a 45-minute to one-hour presentation, you'll see a video, be introduced to live birds, learn about raptor ecology and adaptations, and hear about the process of rehabilitation and the mission of The Raptor Rehabilitation Center. Outreach Programs Interested in an assembly program that will keep your students on the edges of their seats, or a unique presentation for your club or community group? An outreach program from The Raptor Rehabilitation Center is your answer. In addition to seeing a variety of fascinating birds of prey, your group will learn more about the adaptations that help them survive, characteristics and facts about the different families of raptors, the role of raptors in the environment, and the habitats that raptors call home. Each program includes live birds and plenty of time for questions and answers. Outreach programs are available seven days a week. A fee is charged for this service which is directly used to keep our rehabilitation center running. Volunteer Opportunities Much hard work, dedication, and tender loving care is needed to rehabilitate these animals. Organizations or schools can volunteer as a group or individuals can volunteer on their own. The Boy Scouts have volunteered their services in the past by building a weathering unit and a flight complex. Both of these much-needed additions aid in the rehabilitation of many birds in the area. Students from Chaddock school in Quincy have volunteered at the Raptor Rehabilitation Center. They assisted in cleaning cages and attending to the birds that are in the later stages of rehabilitation. |
