How to Volunteer!
Our Volunteer Program is expanding! If you are interested in any of our volunteer opportunities, here’s how to get started:
Step 1
Complete Volunteer Registration Form online
Step 2
You will be added to our automated distribution lists and newsletter, which will update you on upcoming opportunities, events and news.
Step 3
Volunteers accepted into our Recruit Raising Program will be required to go through our Online Recruit Raiser Course BEFORE getting a dog to raise. Access to this course will be granted on a case-by-case basis.
Step 4
Volunteers must attend our Volunteer Orientation Day scheduled the second Saturday of every month. You will receive a confirmation that we have received your application and a date for the orientation. The orientation will include a 1 hour presentation, and 1 hour of training with our handlers. This is a requirement for all volunteers. If you are not interested in being a puppy socializer CSDA staff can discuss alternatives with you.
We love our volunteers!
