Working towards a degree in environmental education, wildlife, natural resources, or veterinary medicine is preferred, though life experiences are taken into consideration.

Individuals from all walks of life have offered much to make the refuge what it is today. To keep up with the increasing public demands for nature experiences and education M:W staff positions continue to become more formalized and challenging.

We now offer several different opportunities to self-motivated people. If you are interested and desire a challenge to learn about wildness while offering to help care for wolves and visitors, M:W needs your support.

All visitors and volunteers are asked to to provide their own transportation and come self sufficient with their own food, bedding, tent and other items for the first two weeks at the refuge.

Dedicated individuals that survive two weeks on their own may qualify to fill a staff position. A two month minimum commitment is required. In return individuals may earn food privileges and secure a tipi or cabin to sleep in. A six month option may be available which provides room, board and a limited use of refuge vehicles. Internships may be accepted on an individual basis. Write for details.
