Opportunity Details | ADULT Basic New Volunteer Orientation

ADULT Basic New Volunteer Orientation

PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING:

 

Because we ask for a six month commitment for adults who are interested in volunteering at the shelter, middle school, high school or college students looking for short term volunteer opportunities to complete community service hours for middle, high school, or college credit have the option to complete their hours in one of two ways and do not need to attend an adult orientation class:

 

• HES Boutique and Thrift - Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to volunteer by themselves. Volunteers between the ages of 12 – 16 are eligible to attend with a parent volunteering alongside of them. Volunteers wishing to complete their community service hours at the thrift store will need to fill out the application online at: https://www.heschatt.org/hesthrift\

 

• Tuesday Enrichment Night – Join a crew of volunteers to help make enrichment treats in bulk for both dogs and cats. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to volunteer by themselves. Volunteers between the ages of 12 – 16 are eligible to attend with a parent volunteering alongside of them. All volunteers who wish to complete their community service hours at the shelter must sign up in advance using the following link: https://cerv.is/0108x204
