What is the Volunteer Programme?
This isn't tourism. It's real, meaningful work alongside the dedicated keepers, veterinarians, and conservationists of Wildlife SOS India Foundation. You'll prepare food, build enrichment structures, support habitat maintenance, and observe professional animal care - while contributing directly to the welfare of rescued bears and elephants.
By volunteering, the majority of your programme fee goes directly to the centre, providing critical funding that sustains our work. It's a contribution that outlasts your visit.
Available at: ABRF (Agra) | ECCC (Mathura)

Volunteer Testimonials
" Inspired by the resilience of the elephants and the consistency of the team's efforts, our visitors rolled up their sleeves to help create enrichments alongside the caregivers, and didn't want to stop. "
Volunteer Testimonials
" I walked beside Maya, patting her trunk with the palm of my hand gently. She was tall and statuesque, one of the most friendly and photogenic elephants at ECCC. It was nothing less than a privilege and humbling to have connected with them in a way that not many humans experience "
