If your group is looking for a place to give back, KC Pet Project is the spot for you! We have several opportunities for volunteer service groups to support the ongoing needs of the shelter and our lifesaving programs. Group volunteer projects are great for team building, increasing morale, and getting involved with the community!

• Group service projects are ideal for group sizes of five (5) or more.
• KC Pet Project can accommodate groups as large as twenty (20) participants.
• Group projects have a minimum commitment of one hour and 30 min, though more time is encouraged!
• Your group can give service one time or, if you want to do more, we offer semi-regular and quarterly opportunities as well.

Volunteers are essential to our lifesaving mission. In order for you to get the most out of your experience at KC Pet Project, there are a few requirements we ask volunteer groups to meet:

• Volunteer Groups must be able to safely and independently perform all project requirements
• Volunteer Groups must meet the Essential Capabilities of Volunteers requirements for all roles
• Volunteer Groups must schedule their service project in advance with the Volunteer Department Team. Same-day group opportunities are not available at this time.
• We kindly ask all groups to provide a minimum donation of $10.00 per person, which can be done upon or prior to arrival. We also accept donated items in lieu of cash donations. Currently, we are low on martingale collars, which may be purchased at our retail store or selected from our wishlists. If you purchase items from our Wishlist, we must receive your tracking number(s) prior to arrival.
• Volunteer groups must have at least one assigned group lead per every 15 volunteer participants
  • Leads must be 18 years of age or older and must have an active email address.
  • Leads must meet with the Volunteer Department Team to confirm their group’s service project and the project’s date and time. This meeting will cover important information and a brief training session to ensure the group’s success.
  • Leads should submit one(1) Volunteer Service Group application on behalf of the group.
  • Leads must submit a list of all group participants two weeks prior to the visit date so we can confirm we have all participant waivers on file.
