Come join the fun this summer!
The Montgomery Humane Society launches its Junior Volunteer Club!
Junior Volunteer Club (JVC) for ages 8-15
The purpose of the Junior Volunteer Club is to assist the Montgomery Humane Society volunteers and staff while learning to be a responsible volunteer and to develop respect and compassion for all animals and understand their needs for a healthy and happy life.
Educational club meetings will be held at the Shelter, every month, on a Saturday, from 10am-noon.
Junior volunteers and their parent will attend an initial Shelter orientation where they will receive a list of projects and activities they can work on to benefit the Shelter. Parent and student will purchase a volunteer T-shirt that should be worn whenever they volunteer. If your student already has a green volunteer shirt, they will need to order a new red shirt that is specifically for all volunteers ages 8-15. Parents will still wear green volunteer shirts. We will take care of those details at the orientation.
Junior Volunteer Club members ages 8-13 yrs. will be able to volunteer for off-site dog washes & adoption events with a parent. Volunteers 14 yrs. and older can volunteer off-site without parent. All on-site activities require parent to be with their student at all times.
Meetings at the Shelter will include a lesson on a particular animal care subject before their volunteer time.
If you are interested in signing up or for more information concerning the Junior Volunteer Club, please call Mary Hughes, Education Coordinator, at 409-0622.
Orientation: June 6th 2 p.m.
Summer meeting dates: June 19th, July 17th, August 14th 10am-noon
