It takes a lot of heart — and elbow grease — to keep the sanctuary running and ensure our animal residents are living their best lives. Volunteering at GLO Farm is a rewarding way to connect with the animals, learn about their care, and be part of something truly meaningful.

Current volunteer opportunity times are:
- Monday - Friday, 10:30-12:00 or 12:30-2:00

Common tasks during volunteer visits include:
And of course, the best part — belly rubs, bonding time, and sharing peaceful moments with the animals.

I started volunteering at GLO in February 2021 after seeing Ali talk about the sanctuary in the Animal Justice Academy. I love all the people (human and nonhuman) at GLO but Wayne, Bella, and Kevin Spots are my very special friends. Vegan since 2012, I’m was formerly an intern at Farm Sanctuary.
I love GLO because they strive to be the absolute best place for farmed animals. I started volunteering in June 2020 so I could help care for the animals and get some exercise outdoors cleaning the barn, mucking the paddocks and helping out with odd jobs wherever I’m needed. As a vegan and animal lover, it’s great spending time with like-minded people at the sanctuary. Don’t tell the others, but I have a special sweet spot for Pixie!
I started volunteering at GLO in February of 2021. I love that GLO is a vegan sanctuary because it helps me find peace and be amongst people who align their lifestyle with their ethics. Of course, it’s all about the animals! Connecting with them on such a fundamental level and helping to care for them and serve them is amazing. And, while I love them ALL, the sheep just melt my heart with their goofy grace and sweet innocence. I lead a crazy life as a flight attendant so I am very thankful to GLO for helping me feel grounded.
Knowing that I wanted to help care for farmed animals, I started volunteering at GLO in November of 2020. It has been an incredible experience being able to connect with such vulnerable beings who are finally being given the happy and love-filled life that they deserve because of GLO. During my shifts I get to help with the feeding and cleaning up after the animals but there’s always time for cuddles and belly rubs, too!
I'm a married mom of two teenage daughters, and I started volunteering at Glo in Jan 2021. My daughter is a volunteer at GLO and as vegan and animal lover, she told me I would love it there. She was right! I like the conversations, the people, and, of course, all of the residents!
I was introduced to GLO when I started coming up to visit my two favourite people in 2019 and continued as a volunteer once I met the amazing residents. I just had to be a part of THAT. There’s a magical combination of great people, whimsical residents and a beautiful setting that make it all so special. All the residents are wonderful but Calvin is very special to me. We have had our ups and downs, and he makes me work extra hard for his love, but am determined to give him belly rubs again one day!
