Youth Volunteers (for children ages 6-13)
CAP believes the future of our four-legged friends depends on our youth. We hope you will consider getting your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews involved. It’s a wonderful way to learn more about animals and to enjoy the company of others who share a love for animals. To learn more about how you can help support educational programs and animal services like ours, contact our CAP Humane Education Coordinator. We would love to discuss volunteer opportunities!
