Join the Turning Point Family – Help Donkeys Now!

No experience? No problem! At Turning Point, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about caring for over 180 rescued donkeys. Whether you’re an animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, or just looking to make a difference, there’s a place for you here!

Every day brings a new opportunity to connect with these gentle, curious creatures while helping with tasks like feeding, grooming, mucking stalls, and more. It’s real farm work with real impact—and yes, it’s as rewarding as it sounds.

Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our mission, rolling up their sleeves and showing unmatched dedication. It’s not just about caring for donkeys—it’s about creating a turning point for them and yourself.

Ready to join a team that works hard and loves harder? Come volunteer with us and be part of something truly special!
