Youth Volunteer Session

About this event

Do you have a 6th-10th grader in your life that has a passion for animals and wants to make a difference? Sign them up for SafeHaven’s Youth Volunteer Sessions! Our Youth Volunteer Sessions are designed for youth who want to take their love for animals to the next level. Through hands-on volunteering, teamwork, and behind-the-scenes experiences, participants will learn what it takes to care for shelter animals and support a life-saving mission.

Some of the activities youth may participate in during sessions include:

Assisting with daily animal care tasks

Learning about responsible pet ownership and animal behavior

Creating enrichment toys and treats for shelter animals

Helping promote adoptable pets through creative projects

Supporting their community by helping with assistance programs like Pet Food Pantry

This program blends service learning, animal interaction, and skill-building, empowering young people to grow as leaders and allies for animals in need. No prior experience needed—just a big heart and a willingness to help! Youth can participate in one session or many. Time spent in this program is volunteer time and qualifies for most school-required community service.
