FAQs | |||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
| Who can participate in these leadership & service opportunities? | ||||
|
If a particular
age-level of volunteer is needed, that will be
indicated, otherwise the projects are open to all
age levels. Preference will be given to
Junior, Cadette, and Senior Girl Scouts working
toward recognitions. |
||||
| Can Brownie Girl Scouts participate? | ||||
|
Yes, if the troop
leader determines that the girls are mature enough
to take on a major role in the project. Be
careful not to overwhelm them. Make sure that
it is a positive experience...remember, there is no
rush...they will be Juniors, Cadettes, and Seniors
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!!! |

Riverside Humane Society 5791 Fremont Street Riverside CA 92504 (951) 688-4340 Phone Contact the volunteer coordinator, Jackie, on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Make sure to inform her that you are with the Girl Scouts and wish to volunteer. They typically do not allow youth to volunteer because most come without reliable supervision. So when you volunteer here...PLEASE follow through with supervision of your girls. Strict policy is in place about age limits to volunteer with animals: 16 years and over (do not ask for exceptions!). Most volunteer opportunities will involve clerical (like helping to fold their newsletter for mailing) or collection (running a service project to collect items for the shelter). Several times a year they may need help with events. Check out their website for current details. |
