Critter Crew Members

We are so proud of our Critter Crew volunteers! Now that you have invested time in our class, and are part of the volunteer team, you can choose from the options below to visit the farm and continue to grow.

Remember some basics when you come to volunteer:

dress for the weather - bring a jacket, gloves, hat if needed
wear your logo shirt and jeans, black or khaki pants/shorts
bring tennis shoes or boots
bring snacks, water bottles, sack lunch as needed
work as a team and remember the golden rule

Thank you for your dedication and service to Critter Barn!
The animals, our guests, and members of our staff appreciate all you do.
