We would not exist
without the help of dedicated animal lovers who volunteer at the sanctuary
everyday. There are many ways to volunteer and every volunteer's job is equally
important to the animals as well as
to Tranquility Trail.
If you are interested
in becoming a volunteer, the first step is to complete our Volunteer
Application. After you submit an application, our
volunteer coordinator will contact you regarding the next available dates for
volunteer orientation. A volunteer
orientation session is required for all new volunteers. We welcome volunteers of
all ages.
After completing our orientation, you are welcome to volunteer. We do not have minimum/maximum hour requirements for volunteers but do require you sign-up in advance for shifts.
Volunteers are welcome at the
sanctuary during the following hours:
Monday through Friday: 9:00AM-5PM
Saturday:
9AM-2PM
Sunday: 9AM-1PM

You
will be able to perform the following tasks at the Sanctuary after attending an orientation:
·
Cleaning the bunny
habitats
·
Providing clean water
for the bunnies
·
Preparing the play
areas for the bunnies
·
Socializing and
grooming the bunnies with supervision
·
Cleaning floor mats
and equipment
·
Completing clerical
tasks
· Preparing crafts and activities for our outreach program
Staffing off-site events
· Restocking the store
If you are interested in assisting with adoption, education, or special events, please let the Sanctuary staff know. We offer additional training for these events.
Volunteers Under
the Age of 16
All children under 16 must be accompanied by a
parent/guardian while at the Sanctuary. Children with their parent/guardian are
required to attend a volunteer orientation before
volunteering. We do not have a minimum age requirement as long as children are gentle and respectful of the bunnies and our policies.
The parent/guardian is responsible for the direct supervision of the child volunteer. We ask that parents consider the ability, temperament, and attention span of their children when planning visits or work shifts at the Sanctuary.
