Join the VolunTEEN Program
VolunTEENs ages 16-17 commit to 2-4 hours a week for 3-4 months, helping shelter staff with cleaning, feeding, and socializing homeless dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens. It is a great option if you want a real recurring responsibility rather than a one-time visit.

“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.
