Are you a highly energetic people-person? Do you draw energy from coordinating resources and keeping a close eye on details? Do you get excited by the idea of working with others and building processes and program infrastructure, as well as working with people to help more dogs and cats?! If so, we have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you! We’re looking for a qualified Onboarding and Training Lead to join our volunteer family.
