Volunteer Opportunities for Individuals (Ages 18+)
First step to becoming a volunteer for JHS:
If you’re considering becoming a volunteer, we invite you to watch the Volunteer Information Session.
You may complete a volunteer application by following the link below. This program is for individuals who are over the age of 18, have graduated high school, and meet our essential capabilities for all volunteers.
Due to current events, we are limited on the number of volunteers we are able to accept at this time. If the sign-ups are full or you do not see a shift that works for your current availability, please check back at a later date.
Volunteers must be able to volunteer independently.
Commit to volunteering once a week for the first 3 months of volunteering.
There is a volunteer fee of $30 you must pay at orientation. This includes a volunteer t-shirt, nametag and helps defray JHS volunteer program expenses. If you cannot pay this due to financial constraints please contact the volunteer team at volunteer@jaxhumane.org.
Volunteer service through the volunteer program CANNOT be court-ordered.
Through our Dog Day Out program, you can take an adoptable dog out of the shelter for an adventure! You do not need to be a registered volunteer to participate in this program.
We typically hold 3-4 orientations a month, but the number can fluctuate based on current shelter needs. If all of the orientations are full, we encourage you to check back at a later time for future orientation dates.
