Volunteer Application Process
Time Commitment
- We ask volunteers to commit to one volunteer shift per week. Volunteer shift times vary by assignment, but are always at least one hour long.
- We ask volunteers to commit to four months of service to Animal Friends Alliance. Our volunteers are important to us, and we hope you will stay much longer!
- We ask all volunteers to have an email address they will check at least once a week.
- We ask all volunteers to help with one event or fundraiser 1 event per year. This could be a fundraising event such as our annual Gala for Animals, an outreach event, or a Kibble Supply distribution day.
Volunteer Fee
As part of our application process, we ask for a $35 volunteer fee ($50 for a parent and 2 children) to help cover the costs of your volunteer T-shirt, nametag, handouts, background check (if 18 or older), and our online volunteer information center. We hope it is a small price to pay for the good feeling of knowing that you are helping the animals and people in our community, but if you are unable to pay, please contact our Volunteer Program Administrator. You will receive a link on how to pay the volunteer fee once you have attending our Volunteer Orientation.
