About Program
Our volunteers are the heart and soul of the Jaguar Rescue Center. It is because of their direct efforts that we are able to help so many ill, injured and orphaned animals. And in return, the volunteers are privy to personal, one-on-one experiences with our animals in their natural environment. The result is a life-changing experience, for both the animals and the humans.
All volunteers spend time at both The Jaguar Rescue Center and La Ceiba, to get a complete experience caring for animals at different stages of their healing and release.
