Help Us Save More Dogs by Helping Us Recruit Dedicated Volunteers!

Save to Favorites

As BARK Rescue CA is run 100% by part-time volunteers, volunteers make up the backbone of our operations. We cannot save abandoned dogs without dedicated volunteers. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to join our Volunteer Recruitment & Engagement Team to help recruit other dedicated volunteers and engage them so that they stay dedicated and motivated. We are looking for dedicated volunteers who will perform one or more of the following responsibilities:

Volunteer Recruitment:

• Ensure volunteer applicants have reviewed our this page and the videos on this page and have filled out our Volunteer Application.
• Interview volunteer applicants to learn more about them to see which team(s) would be a good fit for them. We believe that volunteers are more likely to be motivated and engaged if they take part mostly in projects or tasks that they are interested in or are good at. For this reason, it is important for us to get to know our volunteers.
• Ensure volunteer applicants sign and submit Volunteer Agreements. If they’re underage, their parents must sign the Agreement.
• Helps volunteer applicant set up and use Slack

Volunteer Engagement:

• Plan social events for volunteers
• Plan all-hands virtual events
• Create and send out volunteer surveys
• Update Volunteer listing

As the above responsibilities can be divided among multiple people, we are looking for several volunteers for this team. We understand that as a volunteer you have other responsibilities outside of our organization, so we will work with your schedule.

Minimum Requirements:

• Passionate about animals, Reliable & Meet Deadlines : At BARK Rescue CA, we need volunteers who not only have passion in helping animals but are also reliable and get the work done in a timely manner
• Communicative & Collaborative : Our social media team needs to collaborate with other teams within BARK, such as:
• The various BARK Teams to see what recruiting and engagement needs we have

This means responding to messages within a reasonable time frame, updating anyone who needs to be updated, follow up with other volunteers in the team to ensure completion of work by the set deadlines, etc.
