How old do you have to be to do volunteer work at the SPCA?

Question

well i am very interested in helping the animals there and i wanted to know if kids could do volunteer work!

Answer 1

If you are refering to the ASPCA then I know for a fact that you must be 16 years of age or older. But i am not sure if you are talking about the SPCA. They do have programs for after school community service hours for 3 hours a week but the 2008-2009 school year is already filled up. You can be put on the waiting list like I was. I think that the AC&C takes volunteers that are 14 years and older but if you are younger, there is a shelter in Port Jefferson Station, NY that takes people of younger ages as well as older people. It's called Save a pet.

I am still trying to volunteer at a shelter but since I am only 14 and other shelters that could use me are a little far away I am still looking and I think that you are a great person for caring about the animals. Thanks for caring and good luck.

Answer 2

Volunteer work would be great!! I am not positive on the age. Every place might have different age requirements. Please do call ones around you and ask. If you don't have phone numbers look them up on the net.

I wish you luck with this. I love animals as well. We have 6 cats.

Answer 3

Forgotten friends is a small non-profit all-volunteer organization dedicated to the protection and placement of homeless, abandoned, abused and neglected dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and other animals. We provide a safe, secure, and healthy environment for a small number of animals waiting for a loving, caring adoptive home. We receive no payment for our efforts, only the personal satisfaction and sense of accomplishment we feel when placing a rescued animal into a loving home forever. Please save a pet with donations or contributions. We will use donated money to open a pet rescue in the Windham area, to try to improve the lives of local animals, and to make a real difference. We also accept aluminum cans and pet supplies. For more information or to schedule a pick up of donations, or to schedule volunteer time, please call us. For the betterment of the lives of stray, abandoned, and special needs cats and dogs, our goal is to;

*Open an animal shelter in the Windham area

*Find loving homes for animals in need

*Provide shelter, food, and medical necessities

*Give loving care and companionship for as long as needed.
