Come help us and the donkeys!

Do you have a big heart for animals, aren't afraid to get dirty and sweaty, and can you come to Bonaire for at least six weeks? Then volunteering or interning at Donkey Sanctuary Bonaire is for you! Together with our team, you'll care for over 800 donkeys and help keep our park running—an experience you'll never forget.

We are an accredited training company (SBB registration number: 100197031) and offer a unique opportunity to learn, work and enjoy on Bonaire.

What do we ask of you:

  • As a volunteer you must be at least 18 years old

  • It is important that you are fit and in good health because it is physically demanding work

  • You will help us for at least 6 weeks, so that we can train you properly and the donkeys can get used to you.

  • You are available 5 days a week, from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM

  • You do not smoke (for the safety and well-being of people and animals)

  • You pay for your own travel, insurance and groceries

  • Experience with animal care is not necessary, but a love for donkeys and a willingness to learn are.

  • You speak Dutch and English, so you can also speak to international visitors

What do we offer you:

  • An unforgettable experience with more than 800 donkeys

  • Free stay in one of our cottages in the park (with private bathroom and kitchenette)

  • Practical training at an accredited training company

  • As a volunteer, you will receive a weekly allowance from us to help cover grocery costs.
