Shelter Helpers
WCHS Volunteers are an essential part of our mission, and we rely heavily on their commitment.
While our volunteer schedule is typically full, we are always willing to discuss potential upcoming openings.
Volunteering at WCHS requires a flexible attitude and willingness to do many tasks, including cleaning. Our positions for students seeking Community Service Hours are limited, as these are typically shorter term, and we reserve only a few per school year.
Steps to Volunteering
We ask volunteers to commit to 2 hours/week, for a minimum of 6 months. All volunteers begin at Level 1, for up to 4 weeks. This includes cleaning and other shelter/clinic tasks. This allows our volunteers to become familiar with the WCHS, and be able to fill in, when needed.
Following Level 1, volunteers are able to be trained in other jobs such as Dog Walking, Cat Socializer, Front Desk Greeter and/or Shelter Floater.
If you are interested in joining our Volunteer team, please email Volunteer Coordinator, Lauren, to check on available openings and schedule an interview.
Schedule in-person orientation/training (30-60 minutes).
