Raptor High
The Peregrine Fund's summer youth volunteer program

THANK YOU TO OUR 2023 RAPTOR HIGH COHORT!  

This summer we hosted 22 students who contributed 739.25 hours of public outreach and interpretation with visitors of the World Center for Birds of Prey!


Join The Peregrine Fund's team of student volunteers at the World Center for Birds of Prey! The "Raptor High" program supports students interested in becoming teachers of raptor biology and ecology as they share inspiring stories of conservation with visitors from around the world.

We look forward to working with a number of motivated high school-aged students this summer who want to learn more about conservation and further practice the time management and public speaking skills expected in a professional environment.

Applications for the 2024 program will be available HERE on January 1st, 2024!
