Caring for Texas Wildlife ... One Animal at a Time
SHELTER VOLUNTEER
One way to become actively involved in our organization is to become a Shelter Volunteer. You are required to:
Be at least 16 years of age (under 18 must provide a signed parental consent form)
Complete the New Member application (includes Interest Survey form)
Pay the $25 annual Membership fee
Attend a Volunteer Orientation as an introduction to Shelter processes and procedures
Participate at least 12 hours per month in volunteer activities
The Volunteer orientation explains who we are, what we do, what our volunteers do, what we expect from our volunteers, and what our volunteers can expect from TWRC. The orientation lasts about one hour and is held at the Shelter.
We do not require any previous experience but we look for people who can work well with others. It is important to love animals, but the PEOPLE bring the animals to us, PEOPLE support the Shelter with their donations, and PEOPLE, your co-workers, support the activities of the Shelter. So we look for people who have, or are willing to develop, people skills as well as a love for animals.
Dates and times of coming Volunteer orientations and training can be found on the 2007 Schedule of Events. Please review that schedule or call the Shelter at 713-468-8972 to discuss your needs.
Making the decision to become a Shelter Volunteer is a great way to help our native Texas wildlife!
