Volunteering at Edmonton Humane Society
The Edmonton Humane Society has over 1,000 active volunteers who contribute an average of 50,000 volunteer hours annually. Without this contribution, the Shelter would not be able to do the work we do. Volunteer opportunities range from cat cuddling and dog walking to volunteer photography and help with major fundraising events, with many other opportunities in between and beyond.
We foster a volunteer culture that is inclusive and positive, where new people are welcomed and seasoned veterans are happy to mentor. It truly is a wonderful place to contribute time and make a difference in the community.
