Become a QCAWC Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering! Our volunteers play an absolutely vital role in our mission & we couldn't do it without your help. We have volunteer opportunities in many areas including animal care, cleaning, animal enrichment/socialization, fundraising/events, administrative, clinic assistance & more! There's sure to be something for everyone!

Please Note: We do not offer community service volunteer opportunities that are mandated through the court system. We do welcome students and individuals completing service hours through schools, clubs, work and other organizations as part of service projects or educational requirements.

Heads up, future volunteers! 

After you’ve completed our in-person Orientation & Training, there’s one more quick step! Our insurance requires that you also complete a short online training from Maddie’s Fund. You’ll receive the link in a welcome email from our Outreach Coordinator, Cameron Johnson. Keep an eye on your inbox—it’s the final step before you’re officially part of the QCAWC volunteer family! 

If you have any questions, you may email Cameron Johnson at: cameron@qcawc.org 

Group Volunteering

Whether you’re a Boy or Girl Scout troop, a group of coworkers looking for a meaningful outing, or students hoping to make a difference, we have a volunteer opportunity for you!

We offer group volunteer programs for groups of 5–25 participants (based on the activity & program type).

What can your group expect?
Your experience will begin with a brief educational presentation about our organization, a review of safety tips and procedures, and a tour of our Adoption Center. After that, your group will participate in an activity or project selected by your group representative prior to the scheduled date. Activities may include service projects, animal care and cleaning, laundry, animal enrichment and socialization, fundraising support, events, and more.

To schedule a group volunteer orientation & learn more, please contact the QCAWC Community Outreach Coordinator at cameron@qcawc.org
