Passport to Wildlife

At the Wolf Education & Research Center, our passion is inspiring young people to chose science as a future. Does that mean we all become biologists and ecologists? No! There are many pathways to work to be a steward of the wilderness and her residents. This includes film and technology, graphic illustration, volunteering, and more. Passport to Wildlife is an immersive online and event-driven outreach for youth-focused groups and schools that inspires future wildlife enthusiasts and professionals from all cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. Passport to Wildlife partners with agencies ranging from wildlife management and animal care facilities to film, design, and illustration to reveal career possibilities for young people who are interested in wildlife and science as a future.
