We Are Looking for Volunteers
East Maui Animal Refuge, also known as the Bo Boo Zoo, is looking for weekly and/or monthly volunteers for a 3-5 hour minimum shift. Training is essential and required. Please contact 808-572-8308 or email Sylvan Schwab <sylvanschwab@gmail.com> for a more information and to discuss qualifications and schedule a training appointment.
When you volunteer with East Maui Animal Refuge you will make a difference in the lives, health, happiness and comfort of rescued animals. We need volunteers who can do the heavy lifting and dirty work (cleaning litter boxes, sweeping and mopping and so much more) as well as volunteers who can help with the lighter tasks (laundry, changing food and water, cleaning dishes).
You will be making a difference not only to the animals that take shelter here, but to your overall community. You will develop relationships with our animals, our staff and the larger community of our small island of Maui.
Commitment
Volunteers are an essential part of our daily operations and we rely on each other as much as the animals rely on us. Our animals depend on our volunteers every day for food, water, care and affection. Our volunteers must be able to commit to a regular schedule and time commitment. When you commit to a volunteer position with EMAR, both the animals and our current team of volunteers depend on you. You become a valuable member of our team and play an important role in the success of our mission. Please do not make a commitment that you may be unable to fulfill, or take on responsibilities for which you feel unqualified.
