CALLING ALL FUND-RAISING VOLUNTEERS - WE NEED YOU!!!

In our diverse membership, we know there are a large number of folks who have a lot of experience and skills in fund-raising - but we don't know who you are!!! Many of you who have been members for many years know that we desperately need a new facility. To build a new facility requires money - and lots of volunteers to get the money. Further, we need additional funding to maintain our day-to-day operations.

We especially need fund-raising volunteers with experience in grant writing, capital campaigns, and charitable trusts/estates. Got a special fund-raising skill that we don't know about? We can use you!! Even if you have never been a fund-raising volunteer before, but are willing to help, we can use you.

In June 2008, CCHS is sponsoring our "Third Annual Claws and Paws Golf Tournament" at the 7 Cedars Dungeness Golf Course. While we need fund-raising volunteers to gather sponsors for the Tournament, there are also a wide variety of other volunteer activities that are required to make this event a success. Volunteers are the life-blood to make this fun event a success, so please volunteer to help!!

If you are willing to help, please contact John Jones at 582-9683 or e-mail him at rjnjjwa@peoplepc.com. Thanks.

 

 

How to Become a Volunteer

 

Volunteers are very important people at the Clallam County Humane Society.  As a private, non-profit organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hard-working volunteers in all of our programs. In a year’s time, the Clallam County Humane Society receives more than 2,000 orphaned and abused animals.

 

To volunteer, you must be At least 16 years old unless accompanied by a parent (some positions require individuals to be at least 18 years old)

 

Our shelter is located in Port Angeles . If you would like to volunteer please provide us with a completed volunteer application. You may request one by calling (360) 457-8206, or print one now.

 

Mail the completed volunteer application to:

 

Clallam County Humane Society

2105 W.  Hwy 101

Port Angeles , WA 98363

 

If your availability and interests coincide with available volunteer positions, we’ll contact you to schedule you for a volunteer orientation.

 

Each volunteer attends an orientation where we provide an overview of our services, policies, and introduction to our volunteer program and a tour of the shelter. Additionally volunteers interview one-on-one with our volunteer coordinator or shelter manager to discuss personal goals and to determine the most suitable volunteer assignment.

 

To learn about safety procedures, pet adoptions, animal behavior, and other important information about the Clallam County Humane Society’s many programs, volunteers may also be required to participate in a training class.

 

Why Volunteer?

 

  • Develop new skills while exploring the field of animal care
  • Meet new people with similar interests
  • Acquire work experience for future endeavors
  • Receive support and guidance from professional staff

 

Most importantly, volunteering will make life brighter for pets in our care and better for the people and animals in our community.

 

You Can Help

Volunteers perform a wide variety of jobs throughout the shelter. Here are just a few of them:

 

  • Animal Care Specialist

Exercise, socialize and feed animals, as well as clean kennels.

  • Pet Grooming Specialist

Brush and bathe pets available for adoption, as needed. This really enhances any pet’s chance at being adopted! Supervision is provided.

  • Adoption Counselor

Greet shelter visitors and answer questions about our adoption program.

  • Offsite Adoptions

Assist staff at various sites throughout the community, including feeding and caring for pets available for adoption. Also, provide information about the Clallam County Humane Society and responsible pet care to the public.

  • Foster Parent

Help provide short term homes for animals with temporary health problems, puppies or kittens that are too young to be adopted, those who may need socialization or training, are too stressed in the shelter, or, for those who may otherwise be euthanized because shelter is full.

  • Fundraising and Special Events

This might be the most valuable way you can invest your time at the Clallam County Humane Society. Without fundraising, our organization would be unable to continue our valuable services to the community. Volunteers help at special events to help the shelter to raise money for the animals.
