Being a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we rely on our dedicated and passionate volunteers to operate and maintain our 1.5 acre facility. It is these volunteers which allow us at Seaside to carry on our mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing wild birds.

This is an on call position where the volunteer would get a call from the Sanctuary after receiving a call over the Sanctuary's rescue hotline.
