Volunteering
Connect with the People and Places Around You Again.
Volunteer via Social Media at North Shore Animal League
If you can't be on-site but still want to help NSALA's animals find homes, Social Media Volunteering might be your lane. NSALA is looking for animal lovers who can use their social media presence to amplify adoptable animals, share their stories, and help drive adoption inquiries from wherever they are.
Every share, story, and post has the potential to connect an animal with their forever family. It's one of the most flexible and far-reaching ways to volunteer — and one of the most needed in a world where social discovery drives adoption decisions.

Horses, Healing, and a Grant Well Earned.
Pal-O-Mine Equestrian in Islandia is helping people with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers find moments of connection.
The Islandia-based nonprofit just received a national grant from the Alzheimer's Foundation of America to fund its 2Gether Program. If you haven't heard of Pal-O-Mine before, it's worth knowing about. They provide a comprehensive therapeutic equine program using horses to facilitate growth, learning and healing for children and adults with physical, cognitive, emotional, and developmental challenges.
The 2Gether program brings people living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers onto a 13-acre farm to spend time with horses, work in a garden, make music, and just breathe. What makes it different is that caregivers and their loved ones participate side by side, not separately, not in shifts. Together. The horses, the outdoor setting, the hands-on activities, all of it designed to reduce anxiety and isolation, and to create moments of genuine connection that Alzheimer's can make feel impossible.
Time and again, we witnessed the remarkable ability of horses to spark smiles, awaken memories and create moments of connection that reminded families that even in the face of Alzheimer’s, there is still joy, dignity and hope.
That's the kind of work that deserves more visibility than it usually gets. A Long Island nonprofit, doing this every day, on a farm in Islandia, just got recognized nationally for it.
Good work, Pal-O-Mine.
