Children’s Program Volunteers are encouraged to learn how to care for our animals before they start with the Children’s Program, so consider getting involved now as an Animal Care Volunteer.
Groups happen throughout the year, primarily during the fall and spring. Once the community agencies have set the time that works for their children, a “call-out” occurs through email requesting volunteers who are available for the various times.
