Join the ROLDA UK Volunteer Team

Are you passionate about animal welfare? Do you want to be part of a global movement that’s transforming the lives of stray animals in Romania and Ukraine? ROLDA UK is calling on compassionate, dedicated individuals to join our team of volunteers and help us create a better future for strays facing crisis!

A little about us…

The best bits about volunteering for ROLDA:

  • We are a small team spread worldwide, including the US, UK, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and, of course, Romania.
  • We push as much funding as possible into the shelters and rescue. Therefore, we choose not to have large marketing, PR, HR, or legal departments. This means we need volunteers to help us with day-to-day activities and one-off, more specialized, short- and long-term projects.
  • Consequently, we have many tasks to accomplish, both big and small! By volunteering at ROLDA, you can make a HUGE impact on the lives of animals in Romania, either directly (physical work at the shelter or from the comfort of your home).

A little about you…

Do you have the following attributes?

  • Self-motivated but also able to work as a team.
  • Dedicated – we need people who are looking to make a long-lasting difference
  • Eager to take initiative.
  • Flexible – needed when volunteering and working with a small team.

Whether you’re experienced in administration, IT, social media, project management, fundraising, web and graphic design, or customer service, we welcome volunteers of all expertise levels. Your distinct talents are exactly what we need to make a significant and everlasting change.
