The following is a just a partial list of some of the volunteer opportunities available:

  • Communicating by phone with clients and potential clients

  • Creating marketing materials

  • Managing social media accounts

  • Reaching out to media outlets to increase publicity

  • Researching and writing grants

In addition, if you are a veterinary assistant or veterinary technician interested in working alongside a veterinarian to provide care to VCE client populations, we’d love to hear from you.
