Each day we get numerous calls and emails from parents and their animal-loving teens who want to earn their service hours for school at our shelter. As much as we’d like to invite everyone to be a part of our programs, we do have limited availability.
These are our current volunteer options for teens needing service hours for school:
Shelter Crew Team
This position is not available at this time.
Foster Families Program
Our Foster Families program works with registered families to care for animals in their home through our baby foster and adult foster programs. If teens are interested in participating, they can team up with a parent, who will be the registered volunteer, to earn hours for every full day an animal is in their home when they take an active role in their care. Both the parent and teen must view our Foster Families Orientation and complete the post-assessment. The parent must then complete the application and email the required documents. Choose Get Involved on our main menu and go to the Foster Families page to see the four easy steps in becoming a Foster Family.
Teen Animal Care Volunteer Program
Open positions for the Teen Animal Care Volunteer Program are limited. Registration for 2025 opens in November and will be closed when all shifts are full. Click on Learn More to view session dates.
