VOLUNTEERS: ALIVE RESCUE'S HEART AND SOUL
ALIVE is a primarily volunteer-run organization (fewer than five paid employees). Without our volunteers, we couldn't continue saving more innocent lives.
Do you have extra time to help us with our goals?
There are many different volunteer opportunities available based on what you can and/or like to do. This includes:
-
Joining one of our teams (not all teams require you be physically present to participate!)
-
Transporting animals
-
Helping on a one-off basis for a specific event
Join us and help save lives
