Mission Wolf

Mission: Wolf operates as a cooperative community of volunteers who live and work together. All staff are responsible for teaching volunteers and visitors in a positive manner. We are a facility dedicated to helping educate people about wolves, the environment, sustainability, community living, self awareness and self reliance. Our goal as teachers... is to inspire all visitors regardless of their age and background. Everybody here is a volunteer; even our executive director isn't paid. Our volunteer staff come from all over the world and contribute a wide range of skills and knowledge. Mission: Wolf is very isolated and your success here will depend largely on your ability to live and work in a diverse group of humans. Living here means being a student and a teacher every day. We strive for a healthy, open environment that empowers our volunteers and promotes personal growth. At its best, life at Mission: Wolf is a seamless integration between work and play that is filled with joy, vitality, humor, sensitivity, and flexibility. Who We Are Looking For: In addition to the interpersonal skills mentioned above, we are looking for staff members who demonstrate competence and experience in one or more of the following areas: animal care, experiential education, non-profit management, general tool use and maintenance (especially automotive, carpentry, and welding), or sustainable systems. Mission: Wolf staff are well-rounded people who can excel in a variety of situations. Robert Heinlein put it well: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal ... Specialization is for insects." We don't expect you to do everything, but our ideal staff member can apply their experience to new situations and figure things out.Read More
