Volunteer Requirements 

  •  All volunteers must be age 16 or older. 
    • Please note that initial teen volunteer assignments begin in areas that are not hands on with animals. Teens in our volunteer program who volunteer regularly and follow established rules/protocols may be invited to train in other volunteer assignments that work hands on with the animals.
  •  All volunteers must meet the Essential Capabilities of AWLA Volunteers
  •  All volunteers must be willing to commit to 6 months of service and at least 4 hours per month (select assignments may require additional hours)
  • At orientation volunteers are asked to contribute a one-time fee of $30 to cover the cost of a Volunteer T-shirt and name tag.
