Providence Animal Rescue League is committed to helping animals and the people who love them. The work of our volunteers are essential to our efforts. Volunteers help care for animals, assist the community through free and affordable local events, and spread the word about our vital work. Our volunteers not only make a difference to PARL, but to the entire Rhode Island community.
PARL is actively accepting new Volunteers at this time! (Must be 18 years or older.)
Volunteering at PARL can look different based on individual experience, preferences, interests, and skills. We have Volunteer Opportunities in every corner of our facility and we hope to make it a rewarding experience for each person kind enough to join our team.
If you are interested in any of the following opportunities, please complete a Volunteer Application Form.
