Volunteer for animals

Volunteer with World Animal Protection

As an animal volunteer, your dedication and commitment can help create a world where animals live without suffering.

Our incredible volunteers help animals by generously giving their time to attend protests and taking part in various campaigning, fundraising, and community events.

Some even had the opportunity to participate in an elephant dung clean up in Thailand.

There are also plenty of opportunities to help out remotely with petitions and letter writing parties.

What’s more, you’ll meet like-minded people, do something different and help create a world where animals live without suffering.

Here are just some ways you can get involved:

Activism and advocacy: Get active to support animal welfare initiatives and help raise awareness about animal rights and protection. 

Event participation: Join events organized or promoted by World Animal Protection to help give animals a voice and engage with the community on our campaigns.

Sanctuary work: Volunteer at sanctuaries in Australia and around the world to help with animal care and support their rehabilitation.

Our events embody core values of kindness, equality and non-violence. We ensure our events are welcoming, inclusive, and safe for everyone. By attending, you agree to follow coordinator instructions and adhere to responsible behaviour expectations.
