Tilikum has been blessed to have volunteers regularly work at Tilikum for many years and are looking for people who are willing to come and work a few days, a week, or more, and work alongside our year-round staff with repairs and maintenance, deep cleaning, office or other areas. We have projects that will meet your specific needs, skills, and interests.

Tilikum is looking for couples who would be interested in volunteering at Tilikum during the summer. We need assistance with gardening, hosting retreat groups, office and minor maintenance projects. Tilikum has housing or you could bring your own recreational vehicle. Two recreational vehicle hook-ups are available for volunteers. Delicious meals are often available to volunteers when the kitchen is preparing meals for groups. Call to talk about your availability.
