How do you become a volunteer?
Send an e-mail to benevoles@helpanimals.be describing your motivation and the task(s) you would like to accomplish.
The volunteer manager will suggest you attend one of the meetings "future volunteers". You will have a trial period of 3 weeks.
If the trial period is conclusive, you become a volunteer by subscribing the volunteer regulations and becoming a member of the association (annual subscription of 15€ – valid 12 months). This contribution is essential as it covers part of the insurance costs, thus ensuring your safety and that of all our members.
This questionnaire, strictly confidential, marks the start of your mission as volunteer. It will allow us to know you better and to understand your expectations. Please answer truthfully in order to assure you the best possible experience in our shelter.
