Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Augusta Regional SPCA. Volunteers help keep our shelter (and our animals) running strong!
Eligibility
You should be able to give a minimum of 8 hours per month and be at least 16 years of age to volunteer without a parent/guardian. We welcome younger volunteers under the age of 16 but they MUST be accompanied at all times by an adult over the age of 21 years who has also completed our Volunteer Orientation Program. Volunteers under the age of 16 years are restricted from certain tasks and activities. (Note: If you are volunteering for special events only, such as our Cause for Paws or Pets in the Park, or to work in our benefit shop you will not be held to this requirement.)
Getting Started
We provide training and support to our volunteers through our New Volunteer Orientation Program. During this informational meeting, an overview of our organization and volunteer needs is provided for potential volunteers who may then supply information about their skills and interests to apply to become an active ARSPCA volunteer. If you have a child under the age of 16 who wants to volunteer and is prepared to meet the 8 hour per month requirement, please contact the Volunteer Coordinators at arspcavolunteers@gmail.com.
