Volunteer with Us!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Allegheny Goatscape. We have a strong community of volunteers who are vitally important in helping to care for our herds. Project sites are typically around the Greater Pittsburgh area with some further outside the region. 

Volunteers can help with the following:

• Morning/Evening care

• Outreach events, GoatFest, school visits, etc.

• Barn maintenance and general "fixing-up"

• Fence set-up/tear down

• Cutting unwanted vegetation

• Administrative support

Individual Volunteering

Individual volunteers perform check-ins with the herd while they are munching in the field that are vital to the herds’ health and well-being. Volunteer commitment includes attending an orientation session, and a once per week check-in commitment.

Group Volunteering

Group volunteer events are a great way to support Allegheny Goatscape! Get your group involved by setting up a volunteer day with us. Projects are based on the needs of AGS but may involve cutting unwanted vegetation, setting up fencing, and other various projects.
