2026 Youth Task Force seeking Volunteers

St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, NJ, is accepting applications for our spring 2026 Youth Task Force https://www.sthuberts.org/youth-task-force . Our spring session runs January-mid June. The program allows teens, ages 15-17 the opportunity to volunteer hands-on with our shelter animals.  The program requires a weekly commitment over a 5-month period, strong communication skills (both verbal and written), and the ability to work well independently, with other teens, and an adult lead. Candidates must be able to successfully function in a fast paced, ever-changing environment. Required tasks include fundraising, socializing with animals, taking photos, and writing animal feedback notes. Candidates should understand the reality of an animal shelter environment- while working with animals, we often get dirty, it can physically demanding work, and the dogs don’t mind a little drizzle or the snow! Candidates should be ENERGETIC and eager to work! Designed for teens dedicated to animal welfare, this opportunity is for those ready to take meaningful action.

Feel free to reach out to Karen Potocek (kpotocek@sthuberts.org) with any questions.  In the meantime, follow their YTF Insta @sthuberts.youth.task.force to see the program in action! Thank you!
