Center
Second Chance Wildlife
Center (SCWC) is a beloved and respected 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing
emergency medical care and long-term rehabilitation to over 2,500 wild animals
representing over 120 species each year. Now in our 31st year of

constructed and custom-designed facility on more than
8 acres of beautiful land in Clarksburg, Maryland. This relocation marks an exciting new chapter for
SCWC. With a passionate team, highly engaged and supportive Board of Directors,
an outstanding reputation for licensed wildlife care, and a state-of-the-art
facility as our foundation, we are now setting goals for equally impressive
efforts in operational excellence, professional growth, and expanding our
mission’s impact through dynamic education and community engagement efforts.

of Operations to ensure
the effective development and execution
of education and volunteer
initiatives, social media engagement, media library and educational asset

Veterinarian, Clinic Director, Wildlife Rehabilitation Technicians, and
Admissions team members to
