VOLUNTEER If you would like to volunteer your time, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Gaye Thomasson, at volunteers@thegabrielfoundation.org or (303)629-5900 ext. 235.

The Foundation willingly provides its materials to interested volunteers to distribute appropriately in their local area. The Foundation developed a volunteer training manual for training, teaching, educational and safety purposes. The aviary hosts family fun, on-site volunteer work weekends and picnic lunches at the aviary quarterly throughout the year. Volunteer Application Our Volunteer Orientation Meeting is November 8 from 12pm - 2:30pm at the Aviary and Adoption Center.

MEET OUR VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH!   Irina Gazzo began volunteering at The Gabriel Foundation last spring to get more experience with birds. She is a student at Colorado State University in Fort Collins and is currently doing her pre-vet courses. Over the summer, she spent many hours each week cleaning and helping out at the Aviary and Adoption Center. Now that school has started again, she is only here on weekends, but her ready smile and “can-do” attitude is always welcome!  Irina has cockatiels and budgies – and has recently added Athens, a male Timneh African Grey from TGF to her flock.  We see a great future for this talented, hard working young lady and are enjoying mentoring her.               ^BACK TO TOP
