Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us! We love our volunteers and could not operate to the full extent that we do without them — they are the heart and center of operations here at Seattle Humane. However, due to the Pandemic, our volunteer programs are temporarily closed.
Volunteer Opportunities
Currently, due to the Pandemic, applications for our onsite and foster volunteer programs are temporarily closed. If you’re interested in volunteering once our programs re-open, please submit a Volunteer Interest Form and we will notify you once our programs re-open. We miss our volunteer community, and can’t wait until it’s safe for us to come together again in our shared passion of supporting animal welfare!
When our volunteer programs are open, options vary depending on need and availability. Once individuals submit a volunteer application, they receive a list of available openings to choose from. Volunteers can then select the opening that best fits with their interests, availability, and schedule. Volunteers can work hands-on with our pets, or help in one of our administrative departments.
Youth Opportunities
To volunteer, you must be at least 18 years of age. However, through our youth and educational programs, we have many opportunities for those under 18 who want to get involved and earn community service hours. To learn more, check out our Youth Programs or contact [email protected].
Group Opportunities
If you are looking for a group service project for your company or organization, check out our Group Volunteer Opportunities.
Please note that Seattle Humane does not offer volunteer opportunities for court-ordered community service.
