Program Locations
Typical Itinerary
Each program is quite different but all of them centre around the client being immersed in the local community as they work alongside the local vets, nurses and scientists. Some programs clients arrive on Sunday and have orientation on Monday, others have clients arrive whenever it is convenient for them. We make sure the program works for each specific client while not interfering with the natural and agreed upon schedule that each animal welfare and conservation centre.
