Teens Needed to help with our February Critter Camp

Save to Favorites

February 13th-17th, 2023 and February 20th-24th, 2023

Thanks to Education Volunteers, Helen Woodward Animal Center helps both people and animals by educating children about pet responsibility. The Junior Volunteer program is both fun and hard work. Volunteers must be mature, dependable, be able to follow directions, work independently, and display introductory leadership and teamwork skills. The most successful volunteers are committed, enthusiastic and experienced with children. Volunteers should have some previous experience working with children and a desire to work with PreK - 6 th grades.

It is important to understand that the volunteer’s job is working with children, not animals. Volunteers will be working around animals, but not directly handling them. Volunteers do prep work before and after class, clean up, assist with managing children's behavior, and supervise lunch & play time. Volunteers help the teacher with animal lessons, crafts, and games.

Hours

• Volunteer shifts are 8:00am-3:30pm
• Some extended care shifts from 9:00am-5:00pm

Volunteers must be available the entire shift each day, partial shifts are not possible. It is best if you are available all 3 camp days in a week, but if that isn’t possible then any day(s) you are available works for this camp (be advised Summer camp requires a week-long commitment). After volunteering you can contact the volunteer supervisor about a letter for verification of Community Service hours.
