Become A Volunteer

HSTV offers a variety of volunteer opportunities from hands-on work with the animals ( including providing in-home foster care) to helping with fund raising and educational events.

All volunteers are required to attend a volunteer orientation class prior to actually working at any HSTV facility. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Information on volunteer opportunities and training classes is contained below in the HSTV Volunteer Manual. You must register for the classes as space is limited. Please print out and carefully read the manual before attending class.

AGE REQUIRMENT
Volunteers must be at least age 12. Those at least 12, but under 16, must be accompanied -- at all times -- by a parent or guardian who is at least age 18. One parent or guardian may be responsible for no more than three volunteers between the ages of 12 and 15. Those aged 16 & 17 may volunteer alone but must provide a consent form signed by a parent or guardian.

All volunteers must have a car available. Neither HSTV staff or volunteers are available to provide transportation in case of an emergency which requires the closure of any facility.

HSTV reserves the right to terminate the services of any volunteer.
