Welcome Home Barnyard Sanctuary relies most heavily on the support of the community. This is especially true of our volunteer network. Without the assistance of volunteers from the area, we would not be able to accomplish all of the wonderful plans we have for the sanctuary. Our volunteers are precious to us and we welcome you to join us. We have volunteer opportunities for most ages and every ability level. No special skill or training is needed only a love for the animals and a desire to help! Volunteers are supervised as needed and we strive to maintain a safe and yet fun environment - both for our volunteers and the animals that live here! No amount of time is too great or too small...come and help...there is always something to do at the barnyard.

Interested? Simply fill out the Volunteer Information Form found at the link below and e-mail to our Director at mmeyerguzman@yahoo.com. You can also print out the form and call (361)215-5668 to schedule a first meeting with our Director or Volunteer Coordinator.

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

Welcome Home Barnyard Sanctuary really loves and appreciates its volunteers! In order to show our gratitude, each month we select and highlight a “Volunteer of the Month.” This is someone who has gone above and beyond in helping the sanctuary attain its goals and meet its needs. Our volunteers work long, difficult hours and in return receive only the love of our animals and the undying gratitude of the Sanctuary’s Director. They deserve kudos and we want them to know how much we appreciate them.

This month’s “Volunteer of the Month” is:

PORTIA ODELL!

Portia is a Senior at Ray High School. She has been the driving force behind our internet presence and has worked tirelessly with those of us who are “techno-challenged” in putting our sanctuary’s best hoof forward. Her skills and talents are invaluable to our mission of education and we are most grateful to her for the long and tedious hours she has given to this project. Without her help, you would not be reading this!!! To Portia we say “HOORAY, Whinny, Baaa, Quack, and Neigh!”
