Volunteer
We welcome professionals willing to share their expertise as veterinarians, groomers, trainers and presenters. The construction and remodeling of the K-9 building was done by Building Trades students under the direction of their instructor, Fred Mitchell. The youths look forward to speakers and have learned so much from representatives of the Police K-9 unit, Guide Dogs for the Blind, and Dog Search and Rescue, just to name a few of the groups who have visited.
The youths appreciate receiving instruction on how to create products to sell to benefit the program, and getting business advice on ways to market their products.
We also need volunteers to help with fund-raising, to help mail newsletters, to write grants, to represent Project POOCH at events, etc.
If you are willing to volunteer, here is our volunteer application form in two convenient formats:
