Volunteering at MaxFund!

MaxFund relies on volunteers to fill many of the needs at the shelter and the volunteer program is extremely flexible and rewarding! No matter what your interest in helping MaxFund, there are likely many things you can find to do!

In order to volunteer at the shelter for ANY of the volunteer positions listed below, you must first be accepted as a volunteer and go through a volunteer orientation. For more information on getting started as a volunteer, and to download a volunteer application, please visit the Potential Volunteer Information Page

Once volunteers have gone through an orientation, they can do just about anything at the shelter, based on whatever interests you have. The list below is designed to give you an idea of some of the things that we need volunteers to help with.
