Oasis Animal Rescue Volunteer Teams:
In-Office Volunteers:
Oasis is fortunate to have a team of talented and dedicated volunteers who contribute their time to the day-to-day clerical tasks and general upkeep of the Oshawa office. We are always looking for new individuals to help out in the animal food bank, take on administrative tasks, assist with housekeeping duties, answer the phones, greet in-office guests, help socialize the animals, and a variety of other tasks
Events Volunteers
Oasis will be attending several “tabling” events throughout the summer and require committed event volunteers who will be engaging in conversation with the public about the programs we offer (i.e. Food Bank, Foster/Adoption program, Volunteer Opportunities, etc…) as well as raising awareness of the importance of protecting and rehoming displaced, homeless, and abandoned domestic animals
Community Ambassadors
As part of our community awareness project an enthusiastic, high energy team of volunteers will be helping introduce Oasis to the residents of Oshawa! Community Ambassadors will be visiting Oshawa neighborhoods to meet residents, say “Hi” and familiarize people with the work Oasis does. (Awareness building – No Selling)
Looking for Community Hours?
There are many opportunities at Oasis for students looking to accumulate their volunteer hours! Contact our volunteer coordinator for more information.
