• GAAA Volunteer Advocate Interest Form

  • Thank you for your interest in helping Gwinnett Animal Advocacy Alliance (GAAA) improve animal welfare in Gwinnett County! 💙🐾

    GAAA is a grassroots community advocacy organization focused on transparency, accountability, public awareness, and improving animal welfare policies and practices in Gwinnett County.

    Our volunteer advocates support this work in a variety of ways, including research and data review, community outreach, communications, public engagement, and other advocacy efforts. No prior advocacy experience is required — just a willingness to contribute your time, skills, and voice in a way that works for you.

    Participation is voluntary, and we understand that everyone's availability is different. This form helps us learn more about your interests, skills, and availability so we can identify opportunities that may be a good fit.

    After you submit the form, a member of our team will reach out to schedule a brief conversation and discuss ways you may be able to get involved. Volunteer advocates complete our onboarding process and must sign our Volunteer Advocate Agreement & Code of Conduct before joining an internal GAAA committee or volunteer group.

    Please note: Volunteer advocates support GAAA's work but are not employees, official representatives, or spokespersons for the organization unless specifically authorized. This is also separate from volunteering directly with Gwinnett County Animal Welfare & Enforcement.

    Your information will be used only for GAAA volunteer coordination and will not be shared publicly.
