The LIONSROCK Programme Animal Caretaker for a Day is a one-day immersive programme held at our Sanctuary, focused on promoting Animal Welfare while fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between animals, humans, and the environment. Through a range of engaging activities, you will discover the significance of “One Welfare,” where the well-being of animals, people, and the environment are intricately linked.

This is an experiential learning programme designed to provide learning experiences to participants on the basics of Animal Welfare and support functions for wild animals in captive environments. This programme is ideal for individuals who wish to pursue a career in animal welfare or gain in-depth knowledge and skills in animal welfare practice. It also serves as an orientation program for learners at school level and college/university students as well as those who may be in a gap period to pursue a career in animal welfare, ecotourism, and related fields. It also caters for those who need a break from their daily work and do something fulfilling, caring for animals.

Based on the number of days in the programme, participants can accumulate points (or credits) towards the fulfilment of certification/completion requirements for the Programme in Animal Welfare. The programme is also ideal for students seeking experiential learning (WIL) opportunities as part of their study programs in relevant fields of study.
