Volunteer Orientation

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us. We are always looking for responsible and dedicated people who love animals and want to be involved in the community. In order to lend a paw, Helping Hands recommends that volunteers

Be at least 12 years old (must be accompanied by a parent at all times). Ages 16 and up may volunteer on their own.

Complete and submit a volunteer application.

Attend a volunteer orientation.

Regular orientation meetings are held monthly at the shelter. Trainings usually last about an hour. If you have not already submitted a volunteer application, please bring your completed form with you to the orientation.

At the orientation, volunteers will learn about the different opportunities available, the benefits of volunteering and what to expect as a volunteer. You are encouraged to bring family members who will be helping you so that they understand your family’s commitment. Invite a friend or a neighbor who shares your desire to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals.

If you have questions or need additional information, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Margaret Price, at
785-233-7325.
