Community Service
Community Service Opportunities
High school students (15 years and up), military personnel, or anyone with required hours in community service are welcomed and encouraged to fulfill these hours at the Potter League.
For those interested in working directly with our animals, the initial step towards becoming a volunteer at the Potter League involves registering and attending a General Information Session, followed by an orientation class and additional training. However, if your primary objective is to accrue community service hours, there are alternative volunteer duties available. These include tasks such as laundry, dishwashing, cleaning the Animal Care & Adoption facility, and assisting in maintaining the grounds. To engage in these activities, you can arrive at 9:00 am any day of the week. No pre-arrangement is necessary, and an orientation class is not required in this case.
Second chances are important here. We accept court-ordered community service and is done through the front desk at our Animal Care & Adoption Center.
- Show up at 9:00 am sharp any day of the week. No pre-arrangements are necessary. No orientation class is required.
- Minimum age for community service is 18. Anyone under 18 years old needs a parent or guardian with him/her the first day to fill out paperwork.
- No violent, sexual or animal related offenses are accepted.
- You must be able to work in a self-directed environment.
- You must be able to complete hours during our business hours or when an appropriate staff member is available.
- You must follow the schedule unless previous arrangements have been made with the volunteer manager.
- Please bring your driver’s license or state ID, and the required court documents.
Volunteers perform duties such as doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning our shelter or helping maintain the grounds.
