Volunteers
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." ~ Benjamin Franklin
Since the Sanctuary's founding in 1985, volunteers have been critical to our small staff by helping with a wide variety of projects.

Our volunteer program is divided into four broad categories and facilitated through the Volunteer Coordinator, Lindsay Hollister. Click on the links below to see the volunteer opportunities we offer.
Generally our volunteer projects are for individuals 13 years and older seeking involvement on a medium to long-term basis. We also have several family-friendly projects, and for short-term volunteers we can facilitate group and service projects on a case-by-case basis.
Every year, more than 200 volunteers donate over 5,000 hours of their time, skills, and enthusiasm. This is the equivalent of a $100,000 donation. Follow this link to learn about the benefits of becoming a Jug Bay volunteer and to fill out the Volunteer Application.
