Hello! Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us. We are searching for dedicated volunteers to join us on a regular basis! Although this is volunteer work, we do put a lot of time into training our volunteers and ask that they show up on time, work hard, and call us if they are unable to make it in. Volunteers must commit to a minimum of 2 days a month, but more often is welcomed and preferred. Volunteers must be 18 years or older, and must sign a waiver to be on premise. Please note that our bats are still very much wild animals, and while many will accept treats and are comfortable around us, they are not to be handled.

Here is what to expect...

We begin work at 8am. Volunteers may assist a staff member in our fruit bat enclosure, completing tasks such as: collecting & washing soiled laundry, sweeping, mopping, hanging food dishes, switching out toys, handing out melon treats, visual check ups, laying clean sheets down on the enclosure floor, and other various cleaning tasks. We also place volunteers in our kitchen, where duties may include; washing dishes, chopping fruit, assembling food dishes, and general cleaning. There is often things to be done in our office as well if you'd ever be interested in assisting with that, such as creating our bat sponsorship packages. We are typically done with our animal care work around 11/noon, we do our best to get an early start and get done at a reasonable time, so that we can dim the lights and let the bats get some rest. Volunteers are welcome to stay after animal care if they would like to help out in the office. Dress code is pretty simple; no shorts, and closed toed (nothing with a heel) shoes are required to be in our enclosures. The staff usually wear leggings/jeans & t-shirts. Volunteers are welcome to bring a drink and we do have a coffee/snack station everyone is welcome to.

Our address is 299 High Point Rd, Weatherford Texas. If you have any questions, please email us at info@batworld.org. If we think you would be a good fit, we will reach out to you via email to schedule your first day! Thank you!
