Junior Ambassadors

We are pleased to offer young adults, age 16 and 17, long-term volunteer opportunities (four hours monthly for at least six months) with our organization. Junior Ambassadors may volunteer in a number of different capacities, from answering phones and ringing up sales to assisting at special events. Please note that only adult (18+) volunteers may work directly with our pets.

Junior Ambassador Requirements

• Junior Ambassadors must be at least 16 years old and may volunteer independently once they have attended a New Volunteer Welcome Session with a parent or guardian. (Children under 16 must volunteer with a parent; see our Children’s Volunteer Opportunities).
• All Junior Ambassadors are required to attend a New Volunteer Welcome Session, accompanied by a parent or guardian. After this initial Welcome Session, Junior Ambassadors will be able to volunteer on their own. To begin the process of signing up for a Welcome Session, email us at [email protected] to let us know you are interested. We will follow up with orientation steps.
• All volunteers must have internet access and a valid email address.
• Be aware that many volunteer positions require bending, lifting, standing, walking or squatting. In addition, all volunteers must be able to communicate clearly and understand and comply with written and spoken instructions.
• If you need to complete a service project for school, please get in touch with our Volunteer Team. Do not begin the registration process until you have determined that completing the FULL volunteer process is the best option for you.
