We are seeking outgoing, highly-motivated people to join our outreach team at our community events. This is an important part of our fundraising and spreading the word about our sanctuary. Must be comfortable interacting and speaking with people.
Volunteer Orientation is held on the second Saturday of each month from 9AM-4PM, weather permitting. At the Orientation, you will be given an overview of the expectations and opportunities that are available. Please bring a bag lunch and any snacks and water you will need for the whole day.
The Orientation is a full day, from 9 am - 4 pm. The Orientation introduction will be from 9 am to 12 pm, during which you will be taken on a tour through the compound, so that you can meet our many residents and hear their stories! During the lunch break, you will have an opportunity to meet some existing volunteers and ask questions, and hear about some of their experiences. Following lunch, you will begin your first training, so be prepared to work and learn (and get dirty!)!
