Consider Volunteering for LAA!

Click the Apply Now button above to complete our volunteer application.

LAA is an all-volunteer organization and volunteers are essential to our operations. LAA runs an income-based spay/neuter voucher program, which issues vouchers individuals can use to reduce the cost of getting their pet spayed or neutered. This helps to prevent pet homelessness by reducing unwanted litters. LAA also maintains a need-based pet food bank, helping pets stay in homes when their humans' lives get tough. LAA promotes enrichment of our community through progressive thinking, education, awareness, and public support. We are committed to addressing the root causes of animal homelessness in our community. LAA does this through preventative strategies and is not a rescue. We do not directly care for any homeless animals. By volunteering with LAA, you become a part of our mission to prevent homeless animals.

Because our programs rely on volunteers to operate, we need reliable volunteers who can make a commitment to LAA. Volunteers looking to fulfill community service hours as required by school or court mandate can only help in limited areas due to training requirements. We ask that you be at least 16 years of age to volunteer in order to fulfill school-required community service and at least 18 years of age for other volunteering. Younger volunteers may be able to participate in limited areas and must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Some of our position descriptions are listed below, along with approximate time commitments. Please review these descriptions before completing the application. Once the application is submitted, we will contact you. All volunteers are asked to attend one of our pet food bank distributions as an orientation to LAA.

Here are just a few opportunities we have available:

Newsletter & Flyer Delivery

Help us spread the word about Lincoln Animal Ambassadors! Volunteers deliver newsletters and event posters along an assigned route to veterinary clinics and pet-related businesses throughout the community. This opportunity comes up two to three times each year.

Grant Researcher/Writer

Help us secure funding for our life-saving programs. We are looking for volunteers with an interest in researching grant opportunities and/or writing grant proposals to support our low-cost spay/neuter program, pet food bank, and other initiatives. Experience is helpful but not required — strong research and writing skills are a plus.

Events/Fundraising Team Member

Join our fundraising team and help make our events a success! Volunteers work together to plan and coordinate fundraising events, recruit sponsors, and assist with event setup, activities, and promotion. It's a fun way to support our mission while making a difference for pets and their families.

Donation Pick-Up & Transport

Help us pick up pet food and pet-related items around town and transport them to our pet food bank. Access to a truck, trailer, or SUV to transport items is preferred.

Other Volunteer Opportunities Available

Many other volunteer opportunities are available on an as-needed basis and in various areas. 
If you have ever considered volunteering for a worthy cause, we would love to talk to you. LAA has no paid employees and relies on volunteers to accomplish its mission. You can help pets and their owners by contacting us at info@lincolnanimalambassadors.org.
