Volunteer with us.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Ohio Animal Advocates - Ohio’s Voice for Animals!
OAA looks forward to expanding our team with Ohioans who want to make a difference for animals in our state. Please note that we do not perform direct animal care at OAA. We are seeking volunteers with experience in indirect and administrative service areas such as accounting, marketing, grassroots and government advocacy, fundraising, research, writing, and education.
Why Volunteer with OAA?
Unlike shelters and rescues, Ohio Animal Advocates focuses on creating long-term, statewide change. Our volunteers help:
Advance stronger animal protection laws
Connect Ohioans with critical animal welfare resources
Educate communities about animal welfare issues
Support fundraising and outreach that expands our impact
Build a more compassionate future for animals across Ohio
Every hour you volunteer helps create lasting change beyond a single animal and helps improve systems that benefit animals statewide.
