Youth Camp Volunteer Program

Currently recruiting

The youth volunteer program is designed to provide a meaningful hands-on opportunity at the OHS for youth ages 14-18, with an interest in animal welfare. The program allows qualified successful candidates the opportunity to work with our summer camp staff, in facilitating camp programming for children.

Youth volunteer placements will be one-week in length. Hours volunteered can contribute to the 40 required hours of community service for high school students. Proper documentation must be provided during on-boarding to ensure proper tracking of hours.

Youth Volunteer Requirements:

• Youth volunteers must be between the ages of 14-18 years old;
• Youth volunteers must have some experience leading group of children, preferably in a camp setting;
• Youth volunteers must be comfortable handling companion animals (i.e. dogs, cats and small animals).

We thank all applicants for their interest in this program. All applications are screened to ensure they meet the minimum requirements for the position. Those applicants that meet the minimum criteria will be screened and required to attend an in-person interview at the OHS with our outreach staff. Successful candidates will be required to attend a mandatory orientation/training session prior to volunteering at camp.

This is a highly sought after opportunity for youth, and we typically have a high volume of applicants. We thank all applicants for applying, however, only candidates selected for interviews will be contacted.
