Volunteering for the Animals

We can't do it without you! There are so many ways your support can help us provide the programs and services to educate, fundraise and operate on a daily basis!

Provincial Office

We are always looking for individuals to participate in animal welfare campaigns by assisting project leaders with general office support such as photocopying, filing, collating, typing, data entry and adoption follow-up. We tailor work tasks to your interests and experience. Apply online today!

Special Events & Campaigns

Province wide or through community branches, the BC SPCA hosts a number of special events and campaigns every year. We cannot hold these events without the help of generous and enthusiastic volunteers.

	The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause...Walk For the Animals is our largest annual fundraising event held in 37 communities around B.C. See how you can get involved!
	Can't find the right event at which to volunteer? Hold your own event and help animals in need

To volunteer at an event in your community, please check your local branch page for upcoming events.  

School Presentations

Humane Education is at the heart of the BC SPCA mission. Caring for animals helps children develop self-esteem, empathy and responsibility. The programs below encourage ways of looking at the world that respect the needs and differences of others, while recognizing similarities and relationships.

Volunteer humane educators visit schools to deliver humane education presentations on responsible pet care, dog bite safety and the role of the BC SPCA in the community.

This program, ideal for former or retired teachers, requires volunteers in the Lower Mainland with a minimum of three years' experience working with children in an educational capacity, a child-friendly dog who must pass temperament testing and their own transportation. They must be available during school hours and a flexible schedule is required.

Currently, positions are available in West Vancouver.
