The
Youth Volunteer Program is designed to give youth ages
14-17 the opportunity to help the animals at GMHS while
learning valuable job and animal handling skills. We
seek youth who are responsible, self-directed, and care
deeply for animals. Youth Volunteers are required to
give 4 hours of scheduled service a month and plan to
serve for 3 months or longer. Each shift will consist
of animal handling/care and cleaning.

and younger)

Children can be great supporters of the animals and the
work we do at the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society.
However because of safety issues, all children 13 years
of age and younger MUST volunteer alongside a parent
or guardian over the age of 18 at all times.
*Parent/Guardians-If your child wants to volunteer at
GMHS and is 13 years of age or younger, the above form
must be filled out and attached to your Adult
Volunteer Application.
