VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
Be Part of the Change — Volunteer with UnChained
At UnChained, volunteers help compassion take shape — turning care into structure, connection, and trust.
Whether you bring leadership experience, professional insight, or simply a heart for service, your time helps justice-involved youth and rescue dogs heal and grow together.
Across Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties, there’s a role for every person who believes that showing up is an act of care.
💛 Note:
Hands-on program roles are paused until Dogs in Residence officially launches in 2026. Strategic, administrative, and remote volunteer roles remain open.

Why Volunteers Matter
Volunteers are the heart of UnChained.
Every hour shared — every spreadsheet, story, or shelter visit — helps justice-involved youth, rescue dogs, and the community grow together.
Here, compassion isn’t just a feeling — it’s a practice that builds freedom.
