Departmental Volunteer
Opportunities


Without a doubt the most popular volunteer activities here at the Western PA Humane Society involve direct interaction with our wonderful animals. But there are many volunteer opportunities available in a departmental setting
that are enjoyable and allow you to get to know our staff and help with the important “behind the scenes” functioning of our organization. Departmental volunteers are required to attend at least one New Volunteer Orientation.

By necessity these opportunities require a regular schedule, particular skill sets, and because most require additional training, a minimum two-month commitment.

Take some time to look over the opportunities listed here and see if one (or more!) appeal to you. If you wish to get started in a departmental opportunity, contact jessica.dettling@wpahumane.org. If your time schedule and skills would make a good fit for that opportunity, you may then meet with departmental staff and schedule training. We’d love to work side-by-side with you and get to know you better!

Department Volunteer Opportunities are only available
to volunteers who have completed Steps to Volunteering and have attended a volunteer orientation.

We will love working with you to make a difference in the lives of our shelter animals!
