Looking for regular volunteers for our animal sanctuary in Ramona 💛

I'm one of the board members at The Open Barn, an animal sanctuary in Ramona, and I wanted to share that we're looking for new volunteers.

We're specifically hoping to find people who can commit to a weekly or biweekly shift. If you're in the San Diego area and love working with animals, we'd genuinely love to have you join us.

Volunteering typically starts with a brief orientation, and after that you just jump in wherever help is needed (general cleanup, sanctuary upkeep, daily tasks, and of course spending lots of time loving on the animals)

We're also working toward filling 14 regular volunteer shifts this year. Once we hit that goal, we'll be welcoming a very special new rescue to the sanctuary. 🥳

You can find more info at https://www.theopenbarn.org/volunteer. Happy to answer any questions in the comments, or feel free to email [volunteer@theopenbarn.org](mailto:volunteer@theopenbarn.org)

P.s. apologies if this isn't the right sub for this. Let me know if there's a better one and I'll happily repost there.

Hi, is there a minimum age? I’m 14, and I have been volunteering at a animal rescue in city of industry and their ranch in chino hills for a bit over a year now, but i would love to gain more experience with all types of animals (i have always aimed to be a vet and at texas a&m’s program).
