Why Volunteer


COMY is a 100% volunteer-run organization and is always in need of volunteers.
We have multiple positions available for various projects that run simultaneously throughout the year. Whether you are interested in volunteering in person, remotely, or in a hybrid format, you are bound to find a position well suited for you here.
Our volunteers are from various backgrounds and experience levels. We will provide you with whatever training and support is needed to get you started, and soon enough, you’ll be assisting us with critical rescue procedures!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum/maximum period of time I can volunteer for?
In the long term, we require volunteers to assist with tasks for a minimum of 3 months. There is no maximum limit, of course! If you are on vacation or need to take breaks in between, we completely understand. In the short term, we understand that each person’s availability is different.
I’m interested in volunteering, but for a position different from what’s listed. Can I still volunteer?
We encourage you to fill out our volunteer application, and tell us your ideas in detail! Our Volunteer Coordinator will evaluate your application and reach out to you with the appropriate response.
Are there any paid volunteer/internship positions?
Unfortunately, no. We are struggling to cover costs even after receiving heavily subsidized services. As of now, we are unable to provide paid positions, but you’ll have exclusive access to amazing team members, fun events, and COMY merchandise!
