One of the most exciting parts of VegFest 2025 will be our Advocacy & Volunteer Fair, a space dedicated to connecting our community with local and regional nonprofits making a difference. This fair is more than just an opportunity to learn. It’s an open door for anyone who has ever wanted to roll up their sleeves and get involved with meaningful causes.
This year’s lineup includes inspiring organizations like Unite NY, working to strengthen democracy and civic engagement; Stride Adaptive Sports, empowering individuals with disabilities through recreation and athletics; Mercy for Animals, a champion of compassion for animals; and The Humane League, a global leader in ending the abuse of animals raised for food. These are just a few of the incredible groups who will be at VegFest looking to connect with people who want to give their time, energy, and passion to social change.
For festival-goers, this is a unique chance to explore volunteer opportunities across a wide range of issues: animal rights, food justice, disability inclusion, climate action, and more. Whether you’re looking to join a grassroots advocacy campaign, help out with a sanctuary’s daily care, or support sports programs for kids and adults of all abilities, there will be something for everyone who wants to be part of positive change.
By hosting this fair, VegFest is proud to provide a platform where nonprofits can recruit new volunteers, share their missions, and build stronger connections with our community. For attendees, it’s the perfect way to leave the festival not just inspired, but also empowered with a clear next step on how to take action.
