"Giving your time and energy to our shelter animals is an exceptionally satisfying activity. Just ask any volunteer who’s walked an exuberant shelter dog, coaxed a new shelter cat out of her shell, or watched a family connect with and adopt a shelter pet.
Volunteers perform a wide variety of tasks; some volunteers contribute in multiple roles others specialize in one. All are valued members of the Santa Cruz SPCA family.
The volunteer roles available include animal socialization and TLC, fostering, administrative and development support, building and grounds maintenance, and representing our shelter at community events."
"We have a diverse base of volunteers, including students, families, and groups. Our volunteer programs are flexible, with one-off, as well as ongoing volunteer opportunities. Our both skill-based volunteer and volunteer positions that don’t require previous experience, cater to a variety of interests, from farming to retail to special events to social work to technology."
"Volunteers are the heart of our organization. Whether it is support through delivering meals, supporting our office team, or supporting the kitchen team, Teen Kitchen Project offers many opportunities for volunteers to engage and connect with our mission to build healthier communities through food."
