YOUTH TASK FORCE
Volunteering is fun and rewarding and it’s also a great way to help homeless animals. Just a few hours every week can make a big difference. St. Hubert’s Youth Task Force consists of high school students, ages 15 to 17, who volunteer on a weekly basis in teams to support the needs of the shelter.

Our Youth Task Force helps with…
Providing exercise to well-socialized dogs in the play yards
Socializing and providing attention to social cats in need of interaction and stimulation
Fundraising for specific shelter needs or the needs of source shelters
Writing detailed feedback notes on animal interactions
Taking photos of adoptable animals for social media
New members are on-boarded twice per year and are asked to commit to an assigned, 2 hour weekly shift for a period of about 5 months. Weekday shifts are 4:00-6:00pm, and weekend shifts are 11:00am-1:00pm. The fall session runs September through mid-January and the spring session runs February through mid-June.
Prior to volunteering, participants must attend all required training sessions. Training sessions will take place in August and January.
