Bastrop County Animal Shelter Helpers is looking to expand our Board of Directors. While this requires some dedication (20-40 hours per month), some of it can be done from home. You will need to be located within easy driving distance of Bastrop, Texas to be present for board meetings and some events. When responding, please let us know where you are located.
This is a great way to show your leadership and communication skills. We are looking for people from a broad variety of backgrounds, and would love to have some volunteers with business or fundraising experience. If you love animals but are uncomfortable at animal shelters, this could be the opportunity for you; while many of us are volunteers at the county shelter, it is not required for this role.
Applicants need good written and verbal communication skills, need to have a home computer, and need to be comfortable using technology (typical office software and popular applications).
All potential board members must serve as volunteers for a few months before they can be nominated for the board.
Contact us to learn more about how you can impact the lives of homeless dogs and cats!
