Welcome to volunteer orientation at the Athens Area Humane Society! We are so glad that you have chosen to volunteer with us, and we hope that this training site will give you the resources you need to feel ready to work, have a better understanding of our policies and procedures, and have fun while you're here! Please start by going through the following training deck and read below for instructions for role-specific training. To navigate these trainings with ease, click the "Home" button in the upper right corner of the landing page to view it in a new tab. This site is periodically updated to include new information, training, and other helpful resources for our volunteers!
The Athens Area Humane Society address is 1030 Mitchell Bridge Rd., Athens, GA 30606. We are open from 9 AM to 6 PM every day except Tuesdays. We welcome you to volunteer at the animal care center any day except Tuesdays- just sign up for your shift (link below)!
This is our volunteer handbook. It provides a deeper look into why we do what we do, how you can help, and some more information about the Athens Area Humane Society as an organization. We reserve the right to update our Policies & Procedures as necessary.
Once you have reviewed the above material, please use the tabs to find your way to role-specific trainings. If you are here to do community service, please head straight to the Community Service page.
