Hi, I am thinking about signing up to be an Assistant Trainer for your Wildlife Ambassadors. I have a full time 40 hour week job so I would not be able to be an assistant trainer except on a weekend. Could you provide me with a little more information as to the day of the week, the number of times during the month, and approximate amount of hours per month that would be involved for an assistant trainer? The website mentioned 20 minutes but I didn’t know if that meant once a month, once a week, etc. Thank you.

Julie,
Here are the details of the Assistant Trainer program.
———————————————————————————————————
How would you like to be an Assistant Wildlife Ambassador Trainer? For only $20.00 a month** you will receive:
*Assistant Wildlife Ambassador Trainer Certificate
*Assistant Trainer Pass to the Red Rock Wildlife Education Center at Merle Hay Mall (valid for free admission to the center and all programs as long as you remain an “Assistant Trainer”)
*One Training Certificate each month so you can come into the center and help train one of our Wildlife Ambassadors. These certificates do not expire and may be given as gifts.
Training will be set up with each Wildlife Ambassador’s trainer. You will spend 20 minutes in the room with the Wildlife Ambassador and their trainer (average time of a training session) and will participate and assist in the training of that Wildlife Ambassador*.
You may choose to focus on one Wildlife Ambassador and train with them once a month or you may train with a different Wildlife Ambassador each month. The animal handler that works with you will share information with you about animal behavior and training and will be able to answer any questions you may have.

** Payments are ongoing and taken out automatically every month. Your commitment is for a year, however, your benefits continue as long as your payments continue. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who desires an ongoing relationship with one of our Wildlife Ambassadors, who would like to learn more about our Wildlife Ambassadors in general.
Thanks,
Pella Wildlife Company
I am very interested in doing the Training Assistant Sponsorship program. It says on the FB update I recieved that it is $20/mo but when I clicked on it,it says $25/month. Just wondering what the difference is for or if I am paying for the correct experience. Just let me know so I can sign up for the correct thing. I look forward to hearing from you. I came to the volunteer meeting this past Monday and found it very interesting and informative. Hope to be working there as a volunteer, training assistant or both in the future. I love what I know about your program so far.
Thanks for your time,
