**************************************************

Administrative Volunteer Coordinator

This person would be responsible for contacting people as they sign up to be a volunteer and assigning them volunteer duties. The Volunteer Coordinator should be someone willing to receive calls and e-mails relating to volunteer activities at their home. Some calls may need to be made in the evening or weekends in order to contact volunteers who work outside of the home. Records would need to be kept for the number of hours volunteers have spent on different projects. Attendance at some fund raising events would be necessary to oversee volunteers or a volunteer would have to be assigned to do this. Much of this job could be done from home but will definitely be a major undertaking.

Business Professionals

We are on the lookout for business professionals of all types. We are in desperate need of marketing pros, fundraising wizards, project managers (to help us set up our many program ideas), and computer programming geniuses. If you are re-thinking your place in this world and have come to the conclusion that life is too short not to help make a difference for those in need, please fill out our Volunteer Form or give us a call. We really do need your help.

Change for a Chance (Donations cans placed around town)

Rustle up pocket change by taking responsibility for placing and collecting money from Change for a Chance cans at your favorite neighborhood stops. Permission is sought from business owners and arrangements are then made regarding how money will be collected. Spare change can go a long way!

Project Manager for Education

Participate in planning and developing educational presentations pertaining to responsible pet ownership.

Public Relations

Event planning, selling event tickets, distributing flyers and brochures, and staffing informational booths are some of the ways you can help. A variety of office-type work is also available, including mailings and computer work. Times and days you will be needed will depend on scheduled promotions and fundraisers.
