Help strengthen our relationships with our donors!
The Membership department of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is tasked with providing a high level of customer service to all donors. This includes, but is not limited to, responding to questions, concerns and comments from inbound telephone calls, emails and mail. The department prides itself on caring for donors by being highly responsive at all times and putting the donor first.
Our Membership department is looking for volunteers (click to view expanded position description) to help strengthen the organization’s relationships with our donors. Volunteers call donors to thank them, answer or redirect any questions that come up in conversation, and then enter information about the call into a spreadsheet. Additionally, volunteers handwrite and email thank you notes to donors.
Available hours are Monday-Friday 9 am-5:30 pm and Wednesdays 6 pm-8 pm.
If you would like to apply, please fill out the volunteer application.
After review of your application, a staff member will contact you to discuss the opportunity. If we mutually determine that the opportunity appears to be a good fit, you will be asked to fill out an authorization form allowing us to carry out a background check.

We fight all forms of animal cruelty to achieve the vision behind our name: A humane society. And we can’t do it without you.
