Volunteer With Veterinary Care Everywhere
Please note: To volunteer with VCE you must be 18 years of age or older, attend a mandatory orientation program and dedicate a minimum of three hours per month.
If you are as passionate as we are about ensuring accessible and affordable veterinary care is available to ALL pets, join us! Volunteer opportunities are varied, and all are crucial to our mission of providing free or low-cost veterinary care to vulnerable populations in our state.
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.
