Youth Allies

program

Empowering youth to make a difference.

As part of our Humane Education program, the Youth Allies group participates in many community focused and Adoption Center events.

This structured and supervised program is intended to engage youth grades 6-12 (5th graders can register if they’ve attended our summer camp) to donate their time and talents in animal-oriented projects and special events. Many of the youth activities are on-site at Animal Allies Humane Society’s Adoption Center, while others are part of local community events. The program is active during the school year, September through June with 2 scheduled meetings each month.

Students in grades 6-12 will participate together, with high school aged students taking on more of a leadership role including additional volunteer opportunities to help build their resumes.

Help Pets

Bathe puppies and help care for kittens. Kids will experience hands-on animal care.

Guest Speakers

Learn from professionals including dog trainers and career based presentations.

Events

Youth Allies get a special behind-the-scenes ticket to help us with key event needs like games for the animals and fun projects for pets.

Socialize

Help shelter staff with key needs and socialize shy animals who need more one-on-one people interaction before being ready for adoption.
