The emphasis of this program is fairness and accountability.
Fairness means those who work the hardest will get the most
interaction with animals and be entrusted with most responsibilities. Accountability means each person is responsible for a specific Enclosure and animals living there. Frequent failure to complete the task will lead to removal or reassignment.
  
     
     
 
Our goal at the Outpost is to provide the animals with the best lives
they can have. Being a non-for-profit organization, the Outpost inevitably relies heavily on the work of volunteers. This program is written to establish a fair and solid system that allows the financial and labor responsibilities to all those who care about the animals and desire to help. Since the establishment of the Outpost, Bob and Barbara have been carrying the entire burden. It is neither fair nor realistic in the long run. If we are to become a viable refuge and sanctuary we will need a system that allows the responsibilities to be shared by all and also be able to pass it on from one generation of volunteers to another.
  
     
 
We have two types of volunteers. Those who can commit at least one hour of on-site work per week will be called “Volunteers”. Those who cannot commit to at least one hour of on-site work per week but will be able to make contributions in other ways will be called “Sponsors”.
  
     
     
     
   
 
We are planning to post a “Volunteers Of The Past” gallery and therefore, we would like to encourage all former volunteers to submit one or two of your best photos during your volunteering at our facility. Please submit photos in JPG format only, include your name and the time during which you volunteered at the Everglades Outpost. We hope to hear from you soon.
