Join the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service volunteer team at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center! We are currently seeking volunteers to help staff our Center and assist visitors. Volunteers may work alone but couples are also welcome.
We request a commitment of 2, 4-6 hour shifts per month, we have the largest need on Friday and Saturday. This is usually a slow-paced relaxing job. It involves assisting visitors, orienting them to the refuge and the visitor center, giving directions, and answering general nature related questions. The position also includes general office tasks such as answering the phone, filling brochure racks, and taking reservations for programs.
While you are often the only person at the information desk you will work with a wonderful staff and other volunteers, not only from the refuge but also from the refuge friends group.

Mission Statement
Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the premier government agency dedicated to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish, wildlife and plants, and their habitats. We are the only agency in the federal government whose primary responsibility is the conservation and management of these important natural resources for the American public.
The agency includes both the National Wildlife Refuge System and the National Fish Hatchery System.
The Service's origins date back to 1871 when Congress established the U.S. Fish Commission to study the decrease in the nation’s food fishes and recommend ways to reverse that decline. (More on our history below.) Today, we are a diverse and largely decentralized organization, employing about 8,000 dedicated professionals working out of facilities across the country.
