Animal Welfare Professionals

Reply from discussion, "Volunteer Committees-Job Role"

We JUST started recruiting for a new volunteer community that I am calling our "Community Action and Planning (CAP) Team." Essentially, I don't have a ton of consistent volunteers who want to help with off-site events that do NOT include animals, and we get invited to too many events for me to manage on my own. So I want to start this team of volunteers focused on helping with these events. I attached the volunteer "job description" I created for the role, and here's what I advertised on Facebook:

We currently have a wonderful problem here at the Roanoke Valley SPCA! Our list of community partners and event invites keep growing and growing... but we do not currently have the manpower to participate in as many events as we'd like. 

To solve this problem, we are looking for dedicated people to join our exciting new volunteer committee: the Community Action and Planning Team (CAP Team)! The goal of this team is to work together to represent the Roanoke Valley SPCA at community events and activities. CAP team members are required to attend one team meeting and volunteer at one event per quarter (3 month period).

This is a great opportunity to help out if your schedule doesn't accommodate the typical "4 hours per month" required of our regular volunteers, if you're allergic to pets, or if you want to help out but aren't comfortable entering our kennels. The Community Action and Planning Team is also a great opportunity to gain experience working with kids, public speaking, environmental activism, and more.
