Volunteer with Us
Bunny Besties is an all volunteer organization and we are always looking for great people to share their time helping us to serve our mission in our community!
Bunny Besties offers a creative way to volunteer in the Twin Cities community. Join our Bunny Bestie Brigade to volunteer with us at the UMN or in the greater community. Our mission is to work to improve mental health by incorporating AAI into programs that provide support to those in need. With our supportive team we will help our volunteers to succeed in helping the cutest little nonprofit in town!
We love having as many rabbits in our organization as possible but we also really want people who just support us and want to lend a helping hand at our many events. Volunteers who do not have rabbits are greatly appreciated!!! It takes a dedicated team to deliver the greatest Bunny Bestie experience across the Twin Cities. We need lots of volunteers to help with the therapy rabbits of Bunny Besties. Your support is critical in so many ways!
Bunny Besties registers and certifies its own team members. Meaning we extensively train and mentor our team in our registration process. When volunteering as a Bunny Bestie you are insured with up to $2 million of liability insurance. We provide local support for your needs and are proud to say our rabbit therapy specific training is a unique and comprehensive.
We work to provide comfort and support and strive to help those who are in stressful situations. We work in hospice, homelessness, nursing facilities, hospitals, therapy support group settings, and at the University of Minnesota PAWS program (Pet Away Worry and Stress). We also offer the programs of Bunny Story Time and Reading to the Rabbits in schools and libraries. We work hard to give those in need of stress relief a bunny break in their day. We work in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.
