    Job Summary

    Do you love farm animals and want to make a direct, meaningful difference in their lives? Join Catskill Animal Sanctuary (CAS) as a Volunteer and become part of a compassionate, mission-driven community dedicated to advancing farmed animal protection and care.

    Volunteering with us is more than lending a hand — it’s a chance to build real connections with animals, learn hands-on sanctuary skills, and support a team that lives our motto every day: Love Spoken Here.

    This is a rewarding opportunity to contribute to daily sanctuary operations while working alongside caring staff and fellow volunteers who share your passion.

    Sanctuary Operations Support

      • Help with general cleaning tasks (laundry, dishes, supply organization)
      • Assist with special projects and seasonal needs
      • Support a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for animals and people
