Volunteers

Our program has changed! The AACC volunteer program now includes tiered volunteer opportunities with improved training protocols, promoting safe and fulfilling interactions for everyone involved. Policies and procedures have changed slightly from the previous program. Returning applicants are required to review all materials thoroughly to ensure our program is the right fit for them.

AACC has received a large influx of applicants since the launch of the new and improved volunteer program. All applicants to the AACC volunteer program are reviewed thoroughly by the Volunteer Coordinator and shelter management staff. Applicants may experience longer waiting times during the beginning stages of the program. The order of accepted applicants will depend on operational needs and general availability of the applicants. Small groups of applicants will be accepted at a time to ensure proper training and onboarding are completed. Applicants can expect to receive email communication about the status of their application periodically. We appreciate your patience during this time.
