Volunteer as a group at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
At our animal sanctuary, your group can have a rewarding and team-building volunteer experience in a beautiful setting.
Located in the red rock canyons of southern Utah, our animal sanctuary sits on thousands of acres and is home to up to 1,600 animals on any given day. Because of the large scale of our sanctuary, groups of volunteers like yours are essential to keeping the Sanctuary grounds beautiful and safe for our animals and visitors.
Most group tasks and projects don't involve direct contact with the animals, but they are every bit as fun and rewarding.
We welcome corporate and professional groups, nonprofit organizations, animal rescue and advocacy organizations, animal welfare volunteers or professionals, college and university service groups and clubs, high school service groups and clubs, community groups, and faith-based organizations — to name a few.
