Veteran’s Day Teen Service Event

Join us for our Veterans Day Volunteer Event on Monday, November 12,  from 9am to noon, open to students aged 13-17.

Students can sign up to work as volunteers focusing on the areas of dogs, cats or small animals. Activities include – but are not limited to – creating enrichment items for animals, cleaning enclosures, delivering treats, organizing supplies and more!

The spots are first-come, first-served, and you will choose dogs, cats, or small animals when registering. Space is limited in each category, so act quickly! A participation fee of $20 per student covers the cost of supplies needed for the service projects.

Upon completion of the Youth Volunteer Day, each student will receive a letter verifying their 3 community service hours.  If you have a specific form for school, please bring it, we’re happy to complete it.
