Volunteer at BARC Animal Shelter
Volunteers 13-15 must always volunteer with a parent or guardian, while those 16-17 can volunteer independently after attending an orientation with a parent or guardian. It is one of the most structured age-tiered shelter programs in the city, making it easy to know exactly what is expected at your age.

“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.
