Volunteer with VRRA
VRRA is always looking for volunteers and there are many ways in which you can help at VRRA. You can volunteer at VRRA's shelter cleaning rabbit cages, volunteer at specific events throughout the year, help out with our newsletter, join the Events Committee or Education/Outreach Committee, or foster some of our lovely bunnies. Browse through the sections below for more information on the many opportunities available. Contact Karen (kawebster@shaw.ca) for more information, or to get involved.

Current Events Opportunities

Rabbit Festival: Coming up October 10th. Lots of different tasks to help with.

Ongoing Opportunities
Shelter Help:
We need volunteers to help clean cages. There is a morning and afternoon shift. In the evenings you can feed, groom and socialize with the rabbits.

This is important work, so please consider if you can help out at all at the shelter. If you are unable to commit long-term, we can always use your help on an as-available basis to help cover when we are short staffed. Training is provided.

Newsletter Committee
Creative? Enjoy writing? Like to gossip about rabbits? Join our Newsletter Committee! Our Newsletter goes out quarterly. All are welcome to help write content and brainstorm ideas, among other duties. Most work is done via email, though there are a few meetings here and there to organize content. It's a fast-paced, thrill-inducing experience...

Events Committee
VRRA is involved in several events throughout the year: Rabbit Festival, Southlands Country Fair, Animal Rights Day, Fraser Fest, Hyack Festival, Richmond Animal Wellness Fair to name a few. We always need volunteers to help out at booths, to set up and take down, and to help plan and organize. Have ideas for other events VRRA can hold or be involved with? Let us know!

Education/Advocacy Committee
A large part of VRRA's mandate is public education. This committee is just getting off the ground, and we already have lots of great ideas brewing. We are currently working on having anti-rabbit dumping signs posted in select Vancouver parks. We are also circulating a petition to stop the sale of rabbits in pet stores. Other projects may include classroom pets educational booklets that we will be putting together, and VRRA cloth rabbits to sell as fund raising. If all goes well, we will be having regular meetings. Bring your ideas and enthusiasm.

Calendar Committee
This committee is an extension of the Education/Outreach Committee. VRRA has released a calendar each year since 2006.

This committee is loads of fun. We do everything from selecting the theme to designing the layout and choosing the pictures.
