Volunteer duties may include but are not limited to: Speaking with guests about the sanctuary, discussing our mission as well as fundraising outreach, cleaning and setting up for public events, light and heavy property clean up, feeder-area raking, pen/coop cleaning, morning/evening chores, small construction projects, errand-running, etc. *
To help mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and to protect our staff, we ask that all volunteers must be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 prior to beginning any volunteer work. We may also choose require proof of vaccination status. *
Volunteers will be on a training and trial basis for up to the first two months of their volunteering and will be notified if the animals feel they are unable to fulfill the duties and tasks assigned to them within that initial time period. Volunteering at Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary is not for everyone and if you cannot reliably commit to the needs of the animals, please do not submit an application. All volunteers must complete an application, read and sign the release and waiver of liability and pay the deposit of $100 for the Animal Care Assistant position OR $50 donation for all other volunteer positions prior to starting any work. *
