Join Anti-Cruelty Shelter Service Day
Shelter Service Day is a beginner teen volunteer program for a quick, low-commitment shelter experience, while an advanced seasonal program during CPS school breaks requires an application and offers more responsibility. It is a good starting point before working up to more involved shelter roles.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
