How to Volunteer  Our organization is run 100% by the world's greatest volunteers. From mucking to grooming, fence mending to marketing, and more, our volunteers are truly the heart and soul of Grace. If you would like to join the our group of amazing volunteers, please make plans to attend a New Volunteer Orientation, complete a Volunteer Packet, and be fingerprinted.
