Volunteer at
The Bond Between
The Bond Between is fueled by our Volunteer efforts and we are always looking for people who can support our mission and our vision of making a better world for pets and the people who love them.
If you love animals and would like to help out in ways other than fostering, please read below to learn about volunteer opportunities.​​
How do I become a volunteer at The Bond Between?
Becoming a volunteer is easy! Start by filling out our Volunteer Interest Form online. Our Volunteer Manager will review your application and follow up via email with more information about our organization. To wrap things up, you will just need to sign our digital Volunteer Agreement. Once that is complete, you will be fully cleared to start signing up for upcoming volunteer opportunities.​
What to Expect as a Volunteer?
We want to make sure you’re set up for success, so certain volunteer roles do include brief, required training before you get started. After you’re approved, you will hear from our Volunteer Coordinator and begin receiving our weekly volunteer email with plenty of ways to get involved.
​
The beauty of volunteering with us is the flexibility—you can give as much or as little time as you’d like! We feature a wide variety of activities throughout the week. Your initial application helps us send you the right opportunities, but you can always change your mind and switch up your volunteer interests whenever you like.
​
We love our volunteer community and want to ensure a safe, rewarding experience for absolutely everyone. Because our roles have different physical and cognitive demands, we do ask that volunteers who require extra physical or intellectual support bring a supervisor or support person along with them. If you have any questions at all about how we can accommodate you, please reach out to us through our contact form.
