We pride ourselves in being able to grow our own fruits, vegetables and herbs for the residents that call Barn Sanctuary home. These provide nutrients above and beyond what residents can receive from their standard diets along with enrichment to support their mental health and wellbeing. Help us plant and maintain our gardens and enjoy a chance to share the produce with our birds, goats, pigs and many other species!

Public tours are offered every Saturday, May through October. Two time slots are available from 11am-1pm and 2pm-4pm. During each of these tours, guests visit each barn and coop on property and have an opportunity to meet each rescued animal species. Led by a trained tour guide, visitors learn specific resident rescue stories and interesting facts about their species' nature and lived experience in the agriculture industry. Dedicated volunteers are needed to assist each of these tours.

Field trips at Barn Sanctuary offer a unique experience for children in K-8th grades to view our rescued animal residents up close, tour the grounds and facilities, and connect with our mission to create a safe haven where each individual animal is treated with empathy and compassion. We are in need of volunteers that are excited to share our mission with students from our local community. Volunteers will serve as chaperones for groups of students as they navigate the sanctuary with one of our sanctuary guides. They will be responsible for connecting with students, leading a craft or activity, and most importantly, ensuring the safety of our residents and guests.

Our shelter team works tirelessly to offer each animal in our care the highest possible quality of life with top-notch medical care and enriched, clean and safe living environments. Help staff keep our barns and coops clean to ensure that each of our residents get to live out the rest of their lives in dignity and comfort. You’ll get the opportunity to enjoy the grounds and spend quality time with all of our rescues. 

Are you interested in making a difference in your community? Do you have a special place in your heart for children? The Davies Project seeks passionate and devoted individuals to drive a child and family members to subspecialty medical appointments in the Tri-county area.

Volunteer drivers are unpaid and use their vehicles to drive families to medical appointments. It’s like a neighbor driving a neighbor. Our volunteers are highly respected and truly the heartbeat of our organization. There is no time commitment required to serve. You may drive one client per month or three clients in one week to medical appointments; you make that decision.

"The last good thing that may happen in a person's life is a hospice volunteer."

CorsoCare Hospice is seeking compassionate, empathetic individuals who are willing to give their time and supportive presence to become Vigil NODA "No One Dies Alone" volunteers. These incredibly special volunteers are asked to provide support to our actively dying patients in facility settings and private homes. This includes sitting by the bedside, providing calming music or supportive presence (conversation/reading/gentle touch) and supporting grieving families at the bedside.

Please note: If you are new to hospice or NODA volunteering, as part of your training, you will be asked to serve as a Companion Volunteer for a period of 1-2 months to ensure it is a fit. This is due to the sensitive nature of NODA Volunteering and is subject to Volunteer Coordinator approval.

CorsoCare provides all PPE necessary to ensure a safe and enriching experience on every visit. You will also be provided ongoing one-on-one staff support throughout your service with us and will be invited to education opportunities and appreciation events.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Nikki Gerber, Volunteer Program Recruiting Specialist/Administrative Assistant, at (248) 260-8257 or Nicole.Gerber@corsocare.com.
