How Do I Become a CMHS Volunteer?

Fill out an application (download the word file - click here) and turn it in at the shelter. The Shelter Relations Assistant will contact you with the next available orientation times. Volunteer orientations are held in the evening and last about 2 hours. You may begin volunteering after you have completed orienation.

The training manual will be handed out at orientation. The one on the
website does not have current information, so I am updating it as we
speak.

We also need volunteers to take lead roles in our special event program. These volunteers would take charge of small events that include adoptable animals and information on responsible pet ownership.
