Volunteer
Volunteers are very important
people at Colorado Reptile Humane Society. As a private, non-profit
organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hardworking volunteers in
all of our programs. To volunteer, you must be at least eighteen years old and
willing to make a six-month commitment of approximately three hours per week. We
require a $15.00 contribution at orientation for a volunteer T-shirt and to help
defray the cost
of the volunteer program, leaving more resources for the
shelter reptiles.
In a year's time, CoRHS receives nearly 300 unwanted and abused
reptiles, and helps hundreds of people and animals throughout Colorado and
beyond. Our main shelter is located in Longmont, north of Boulder.
To get
started, potential CoRHS volunteers should complete and submit our on-line application. You must be 18 years or older to volunteer with us. We will contact you for a
volunteer interview and get you started helping homeless reptiles!
Why Volunteer?
- Develop new skills while exploring the field of animal care
- Meet new people with similar interests
- Acquire work experience for future endeavors
- Receive support and guidance from professional staff
Most
importantly, volunteering will make life brighter for the reptiles in our care,
and better for the people and animals in our community.
