Opportunity Description: For several years Ennis National Fish Hatchery (ENFH) has been providing men, women, and students the opportunity to work as a volunteer at a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Hatchery. The volunteers work in all aspects of the hatchery and play an important role in day-to-day operations. College students looking for experience in fisheries, along with adventurous adults have been among those to volunteer at ENFH. Volunteer stints at the hatchery can last for various amounts of time and begin at several periods throughout the year. However, volunteers are most helpful during the winter months, at which time the spawning season is in full swing. Volunteers work along side hatchery staff to maintain the facilities and care for the fish. Specific work duties include feeding the fish, cleaning raceways, and constructing egg trays used in egg shipment. However, tasks will vary depending on the season.
