The Bird Center of Michigan is one of the only songbird rehabilitation facilities that serves the southeastern area of Michigan. Each year, hundreds of both baby birds and injured adults come through the doors of the clinic requiring assistance. Did you know that most baby birds need to be fed every 30 minutes from dawn to dusk? Between feeding, cleaning, and monitoring every bird’s condition, there’s always something that needs to be done! Not only do volunteers get the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our feathered patients, but they get to learn and work alongside skilled staff and interns.

Volunteer shifts are typically 3 hours long, 1-2 times per week. How much time you are willing to spend volunteering with the Bird Center is up to you! Let our Volunteer Coordinator know your availability, and we will swiftly set up a training shift with an experienced mentor to get you started.

There are many jobs that go into wildlife rehabilitation – and it’s not just feeding birds! Here are some of the many important duties volunteers perform at the Bird Center:

We'd love to have you on our team!

The opportunity is available for individual and group volunteering opportunities.  Volunteers will help to assist donors bringing donations in, sorting, organizing, and displaying items in gaylords as well as in the store.   

This is also a good opportunity for school volunteering hours and for youth volunteers 12 and over.  Please contact us if interested at Development@goodwilldetroit.org 

Opportunities can be Mon. - Fri. between the hours of 10:00a.m. and 7:00p.m. with some opportunities on the weekends.  WE can also customize days and times that would work best for you.  Hope to see you soon!

Reading is the foundation for all learning, and yet 60 percent of Detroit children under five live in poverty, with the majority of kids not ready for kindergarten. By third grade, only 14 percent read at grade level.

We know that, given the opportunity, students who are behind can and will excel in reading. That’s why Reading Partners and Brilliant Detroit are working together to harness the power of community to provide students with access to high-quality learning opportunities. Are you ready to help a student become a lifelong learner?
