Junior Volunteers
For pet-loving youth who want to make a difference but are below the minimum age requirements for our regular volunteer program, VHS offers Junior Volunteers. Students age 10-15 gain valuable volunteer experience working a Cat Care shift alongside our Humane Education team, feeding and cleaning in Kitty City so that our adoptable animals enjoy their stay. Full training is provided.
Junior Volunteers attend an orientation and training on the first day of four session dates running consecutive Fridays from 3:30 – 5:30 pm. Please contact our Humane Education department for more information.
March and April 2013 sessions – FULL
Next Session: September 2013

Service Project & Award Workshop
For those seeking to complete a service project that will benefit the homeless and abandoned animals in our community, VHS offers the Service Project & Award Workshop.

- Bronze, Silver, or Gold Awards
- Eagle Scout Projects
- School Service Projects (for Leadership, Civics, or other classes and clubs)
