ASUS/WAO utilizes volunteers and community service workers for non-animal related work.

Animal Caregivers are responsible for the daily care of a number of different species. These duties include: sanitizing enclosures, feeding, making daily observations, and creating enrichment programs, as well as providing healthcare treatment under veterinary supervision.

Volunteers maintain the grounds and assist in office management, direct mail and fundraising projects. They also help out with enclosure construction and with the delivery of feed and other supplies.

Community Service Workers assist in maintaining grounds and construction of enclosures and buildings under the direction of a full-time construction manager.
