There are a number of volunteering opportunities. We are always looking for people to help with fostering. Or just spreading the word about RICA.
If you live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, we organize "Meet and Greets" at various pet stores and other places. These events are designed to help educate the public about the care of iguanas and promote adoption.
Click the Contact Us button and you can send an email.
All help is greatly appreciated!
