Volunteering for SAFE is an essential role as it helps to spread the message against animal cruelty issues across New Zealand. Volunteers can organise or assist with stalls, displays, public meetings, protest actions, fundraising events, and actively support SAFE's humane education programme. You are invited to support our work by getting involved locally.
We are looking for keen volunteers in other centres for SAFE activities. To become a volunteer please email SAFE's national volunteer coordinator with your contact details: sacha@safe.org.nz
