Group Volunteers

We offer a variety of opportunities for groups to hold a day of service on the grounds of the Potter League.

We engage corporations, university groups, and nonprofit groups each year. Volunteer groups assist us with our lifesaving work by maintaining our grounds, cleaning, laundry and dishes, preparing treats for our enrichment training program, and more.

Each group that visits the Potter League for a day of service will receive a behind the scenes tour of the shelter and get the opportunity to meet an adoptable pet!

Grounds/Facilities Projects
According to schedule and season, volunteers may be needed for projects such as landscaping, painting, or building maintenance. These projects benefit from the support of a larger group and do not require specific training. We will let you know if such an opportunity coincides with your preferred dates.

Unexpected/Urgent Needs
If your group has the flexibility to respond on short notice during the unfortunate occurrence of natural disasters or other emergency situations, we would appreciate being able to call on your assistance. Such assistance may involve getting to the Potter League in adverse weather conditions, or other functions as directed by the Potter League staff. No specific training is required. Unexpected/Urgent Needs Group Volunteer activities will be scheduled as required.
