Court-ordered community service volunteers must meet the following requirements:
- You must be 17 or older.

- Please allow for appropriate time to complete your hours. We cannot always accommodate last minute requests for service.
- You must be able to work in a self-directed environment.

Volunteers perform duties such as doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning our shelter, helping maintain the grounds, or assisting the Kibble Connection program.
