Attention animal lovers: CALM seeks volunteers

The California Living Museum is looking for volunteer guides. Candidates must love people and animals.

Sound interesting? Here's the details from CALM:

Do you enjoy talking to people, like animals and take pleasure in working outdoors? If so, the California Living Museum (CALM) may offer an opportunity that is to your liking. CALM, located between Lake Ming and Hart Park on Alfred Harrell Highway in northeast Bakersfield, is currently recruiting for volunteer docents. CALM is looking to train individuals who are interested in educating students and the general public about our animals and the environment around us.

Interested individuals will attend training in the CALM Library on March 1, 8, 15, 29 and April 5 and 12 from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m., each day. There is no charge for the training. Requirements include a current CALM membership, attending and passing all training classes, purchase of a chambray-style shirt and proof of having received a current tetanus vaccination. Trainees must also pass a Kern County Superintendent of Schools fingerprint clearance.

For more information and to sign up for training, please contact Debby Kroeger, education and volunteer services manager, at (661) 872-2256, ext. 12.

CALM is a zoo, botanical garden and natural history museum. It provides residence to animals native to California that because of injury or abandonment can no longer survive on their own in the wild.
