Volunteer Application

New York Volunteer Under 18

Introduction/Description

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer with Best Friends Animal Society - Northeast Program. You can get started with your volunteer account below if you are between the ages of 12-17. Please note that you will need a parent or guardian to assist you in completing your profile and the form below.

A few things to note:

Best Friends in New York allows minors aged 12-17 to volunteer with a signed waiver by their guardian.
Volunteers ages 12-17 must have a guardian volunteering with them at all times.
There will be one guardian to one minor and both the youth volunteer AND guardian must each have a volunteer profile.
While the minimum age to volunteer in New York is 12 years old, Best Friends will determine which - if any - positions are appropriate for youth volunteers.

If you are 15 or younger, your parent or guardian must create their own volunteer account first and will be required to approve your account.

Upon completion of this form, you will receive an email with volunteer information and next steps. Please be sure to use an active email address, and check your spam filters for this email. You can email volunteernyc@bestfriends.org with any questions!
