Group Volunteer Opportunities
Program Requirements
16+ Years of Age
The San Antonio Humane Society can accommodate volunteers aged 16 and older. For more information about opportunities for individuals under the age of 16 please visit sahumane.org/education.
Group Size
Groups can be a minimum of four people, and a maximum of 30 people. Groups must ensure that there is at least one adult for every five minors participating in the activity.
Volunteer Waiver
All members of the group must sign a one-day volunteering waiver prior to beginning the project. Volunteers aged 16 and 17 must have their waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Group Volunteer Fees
Group Volunteer Opportunities serve as a fundraiser for the San Antonio Humane Society. A small portion of the fee helps cover the cost associated with offering group events. The remainder goes to continuing to care for the pets in our facility.
With a group donation of $250 or more, a group of 4-10 participants can volunteer. With a group donation of $500 or more, a group of 11-20 participants can volunteer. With a group donation of $750 or more, a group of 21-30 participants can volunteer.
Scheduling
Availability: Group opportunities can be scheduled Monday-Saturday. Hours will be determined depending on the activity selected and what works best for the volunteering group and the shelter staff.
Time Commitment: Group projects typically last anywhere from 2-3 hours, depending on your group size and activity.
Dress Code
Group volunteers must wear long pants or long shorts, closed-toed shoes, and a short or long-sleeved shirt. Groups from a company or organization volunteering together may wear logo gear from their organization or company if they wish. Tank tops, crop tops, and flip flops are not permitted when completing a group service project on-site or off-site. In cold or inclement weather, heavier layers should be worn.
Please note that group volunteer opportunities are limited and dependent on current shelter needs and staff availability. Please allow 7-10 business days for us to process your request and contact you about available openings.
