Thank you for your interest in becoming a Philly Goat Project volunteer!
We have a few questions we always ask folx, in order to assure we may be a good fit for each other. Having an impact on the lives of our goats and supporting our programs can be a rewarding experience. However, please note that volunteering requires 5-10 hours of training time and being with and around the goats to really feel as if you are safe and "at home" at the farm.
Please do not complete this application until you have visited the farm at Awbury and attended at least one event.
We are not able to take students as volunteers at this time. We thank you for respecting this and request that you come see us at our many FREE events instead.
Also please know that if volunteering is not a good fit, we welcome you to join us at any of our events and to support the goats in whatever way feels comfortable. If you are not ready to commit to 2 hours every week or 3 hours every other week starting within the next 4 weeks, please wait to complete the form below until you are ready to start.
Working in and around our goats requires strength, agility and dexterity as well as the ability to follow directions independently. Some of our goats can weigh up to 200 pounds. For these reasons, we reserve the right to determine your eligibility to volunteer with us for liability purposes.
Please answer the following questions:
After submitting your application, look for an email from our volunteer coordinator. If you do not receive an email within 2 weeks, please check your bulk/junk/spam folder. Thank you!!!
