We are hiring volunteers
Could you be one of them?
Full training is given. Much of the routines are done inside the main barn in the winter.
We will only ask volunteers to do the very basic routine, no heavy lifting or lugging hay bales or deep cleaning - we will have that covered.
We are looking for volunteers to do at least one shift per week minimum.
There are 3 shifts to choose from, and they can be made quicker if 2 people do it together.
If you’re interested in joining Team Pig, send an email to littlepigsathome@gmail.com with your availability, preferred shift(s) and what you’d like to gain from the experience and we’ll be in touch.
