As a volunteer of the CENTRAL FLORIDA ANIMAL RESERVE, you get a ground-level look at the tremendous effort it takes to manage captive wildlife.  Working closely with experienced handlers, you'll be reborn into an amazing world.  With access to up-to-date information about big cats, you'll embark on a journey of mind and body full of discovery.

Volunteering at C.F.A.R. is an exciting, rewarding venture.  Volunteers come from all walks of life and bring their many diverse talents to the organization.  We take a 'whole village' approach to the stewardship of our creatures.  There are many opportunities to help, both at the facility and in the community.
