Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring my own equipment with me, e.g. DSLR camera?
You’ll have access to all equipment at the sanctuary, so you don’t need to bring your own equipment (but can bring personal equipment if you would like to).
Do I need extensive experience with all multimedia tools listed?
While it’s preferable you have some understanding/experience of different multimedia, such as DSLRs and photo editing software, you don’t need to know everything in detail as you will get some training with each piece of equipment/software during orientation.
Can I eat meat during my stay at the sanctuary?
As the organization promotes sustainable living practices, they ask all interns to stick to a vegetarian diet during their stay.

Participated in 2025
I had always wanted to work at and learn about the workings of an animal sanctuary, but in the US, it is very difficult to find an opportunity that doesn’t require a lot of prior experience as well as certification.
