Stop by and get to know other volunteers and learn about different volunteer opportunities ranging from walking dogs to public speaking to helping prepare lunch for the students staying on campus to receive their new assistance dog. We'll also have a gourmet hot cocoa bar for you to enjoy while you learn and mingle!
Volunteer chapters raise awareness, recruit new puppy raisers and volunteers, and support one another’s work on behalf of the mission in many ways. They are lively networks filled with opportunities for social engagement, from puppy classes to fundraisers. Beyond the satisfaction of doing good work for a good cause, lifelong friendships are often formed among chapter members.
