Volunteers are an essential part of the Blue Ridge Humane Society family.

Our Volunteer Program offers a wide variety of opportunities to use unique talents and skills to enhance the quality of life for animals in Henderson County.

We love to see families and friends volunteering together! We welcome volunteers ages 7 and up for some of our volunteer roles. Volunteers ages 16 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who has also completed the appropriate volunteer training.

Still wondering whether you should give volunteering a try? Contact [email protected] for more information.

Please note, we do not fulfill pre-trial intervention community service hours.

How to Volunteer at the Blue Ridge Humane Society 

Our volunteers:

  • Improve the quality of living for animals in Henderson County.
  • Make a difference in their community through our community programs like our Spay/Neuter Incentive Program and Meals on Wheels Pet Pals.
  • Provide support for all departments and serve on our board and committees.
  • Help raise crucial funds in our Thrift Store.

It’s easy to get started!

  1. Fill out the Volunteer Application.
  2. Attend a Virtual Volunteer Information Session to learn more about Blue Ridge Humane Society and current volunteer opportunities.
  3. Pick a Volunteer Assignment! Decide what volunteer position works best for you! Some assignments can get started right away and some require prior orientation and training such as animal handling training that you can get started on.
  4. Start Volunteering! Get started in your position. Our volunteers make a huge impact in Henderson County to ensure both pets and their people are happy, healthy, and thriving. We wouldn’t be able to accomplish all we do without them.

Black History Brunch – Volunteer Call!!
Feb 13 all-day
The YMI Cultural Center

The YMI is conducting a Black History Brunch on Saturday, Feb.13th, from 10 am – 2 pm. The YMI Cultural Center hosts Black History Brunch. Speeches, poems, songs, and performances will be given. Food is also provided for the people attending. This event’s main purpose is to open Black history month and get to know local black performers in Asheville. It was an event where people can get entertained but also become educated on black history. All YMI events follow under the guidelines of the state during Covid -19.

There is a quota of up to 4 volunteers for this event. There will be a 5-hour slot spanning from 10 am – 2 pm. If there is a need for accommodations in time or other concerns, I’m happy to discuss them.
