My Nonprofit Reviews

I retired in 2024, and was seeking volunteer involvement with a unique organization that would allow me to utilize my background as an EA and contribute administrative assistance duties that would contribute directly to the success of the organization.

I found all this with In-Sync. I was welcomed with open arms and have since been assisting with donor relations as well as having small parts in some events.

Prior to applying as a volunteer, I researched online using various searching techniques and then made a solo visit to the facility and walked the grounds. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the enclosures and the obvious great care of the animals. There were colored T-Shirts (I later learned these shirts reflect varying levels of expertise) busy in many areas, working on cleaning enclosures, and maintenance of the grounds. Being a cat lover, I was in love, my first visit.

I continue to be very impressed, and touched, with the level of attention and care these creatures receive – most certainly, regarding their health. Some arrive in very poor shape and are nursed back to health. They receive scheduled health maintenance from teeth to tail. Special focus is given to the happiness of each animal. These folks really know these creatures - their likes, dislikes, favorite foods and even their favorite toys.

Since I started in August of 2024, I have met some of the warmest hearts and dedicated people who are Staff as well as long-time volunteers. The volunteers are much appreciated, and it shows. The learning opportunities are endless and fascinating. The opportunities are never forced and if I cannot, or choose not to, participate in a certain event or task, it's never an issue. This makes it a extremely pleasant experience. and lends directly to the desire to stay a part of In-Sync.

This has been a wonderful experience for me. I am so glad that I took that step and reached out to them.
