Volunteer Schedule
The Volunteer Schedule was created to assist in the coordination of program activities throughout the shelter. Some volunteer programs require that you pre-schedule your dates, while others leave this up to the volunteer.
If you sign up for a date and time and cannot attend your shift, please delete your name from the list no less than 24 hours before. If this occurs in the Physical Exam or Special Project programs, please contact the Volunteer Department, or the corresponding Volunteer Mentor, to notify them of the change.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask! volunteer@anticruelty.org
