Requested commitment for all ACAPL volunteers:

• Active volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of five hours a month for at least six months.
• To volunteer independently, you must be age 16 or older.  Volunteers 16-17 years old will need parental consent on their volunteer application. Volunteers 9-15 years old may volunteer with an adult partner, typically a parent or guardian under our Furever Friends program is a wonderful opportunity for children to get involved at the shelter. An adult partner must accompany and actively work with/supervise their youth partner in the same volunteer assignment throughout their volunteer experience. Furever Friends may volunteer in most assignments, including those that work with animals. Certain restrictions apply.
