Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Animal Friends Alliance! 🐾 Due to a high volume of requests, we only accept new volunteer applications during two-week windows at the beginning of each quarter throughout the year.
The volunteer application will be open on the following dates:
January 2nd - January 16th
April 1st - April 15th
July 1st - July 15th
October 1st - October 15th
We appreciate your patience and look forward to receiving your application during our next open period! 🐾
In the meantime, we are always welcoming new foster families! If you have any questions about fostering, please visit the "Become a Foster" link under the Volunteer tab on our website, or reach out to the foster team at foster@savinganimalstoday.org.
Volunteer Requirements
Age Requirements
- Volunteers must be 18+ to volunteer on their own.
- Up to two minors aged 13 - 17 may join an adult volunteer. Because our volunteers are responsible for a significant portion of daily care, opportunities for minors are limited. Applications must be completed by an adult age 18+.
Time Commitment
- We prefer volunteers complete at least two shifts per month. Volunteer shift times vary by assignment, but are typically two hours long.
- We ask that new volunteers be willing to volunteer regularly for at least 4 months. Our volunteers are important to us, and we hope you will stay much longer!
Volunteer Fee
As part of our onboarding process, we ask for a non-refundable $40 volunteer fee ($55 for family groups) to help cover the costs of your volunteer t-shirt, nametag, background check (if 18 or older), volunteer appreciation events, and your account on our volunteer platform. We hope it is a small price to pay for the good feeling of knowing that you are helping animals and people in our community!
