Volunteering Overview
Learn about the various ways you can volunteer to support Guide Dogs for the Blind's life-changing mission.
Some partnerships are just meant to be. Not only is this true for Guide Dogs for the Blind's clients and their guide dogs or K9 Buddies, it's true throughout our entire organization. The partnerships with thousands of passionate volunteers who donate their time, talents, and hearts are what make Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) a reality.
Volunteers welcome dogs into their homes; act as program ambassadors; provide administrative assistance to many departments, and support the mission in myriad ways. If you want to give your time, there's no shortage of ways to help. Explore the many options, and decide what interests you most, and then get in touch.
