Shelter Helpers


Shelter Helpers is a fun in-person program for students seeking opportunities to help animals in their community. Perfect for young animal lovers (8-12 years old), Shelter Helpers will work with a small group of their peers and a Humane Educator to complete various projects around the shelter.

Participants may create a variety of enrichment toys, devise adoption promotion materials, and keep the shelter grounds tidy—not to mention get some hands-on animal socialization time!

*Program hours are eligible to be signed off as service hours
