Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

The work Humane Pennsylvania accomplishes would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers.

HPA has several campus locations and relies on over 300 volunteers for their time, love, and support. Compassionate, dedicated volunteers are essential to our programs and services across the organization, and it is important to us that volunteering be a meaningful experience for everyone who participates.

We recruit new volunteers on an as needed basis giving us time to meet the people who express interest and make sure they are placed in an appropriate role and properly trained before they begin.
