Pasadena Humane is a donor-supported, nonprofit organization that provides animal care and services for homeless and owned animals in the Greater Los Angeles Area. For more than 117 years, we’ve promoted compassion and care for all animals through lifesaving programs and services to the community that support the human-animal bond and keep pets healthy and safe. In 2020, we had a combined 91.5% live release rate for dogs, cats and critters and saved 100% of healthy and safe animals.
What will I be doing?
Jr. Volunteers (Ages 11 to 14)
$350 per four-week session
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The Jr. Volunteers program is designed for youth ages 11-14 who want to make a difference while earning community service hours. This hands-on program empowers participants to support the shelter through meaningful service. Each week, they will take part in hands-on projects, such as crafting enrichment toys, folding laundry, building critter mazes, and preparing supplies for animals and staff.
Participants will learn how a shelter operates, explore animal-related careers, and track the impact of their work. From teamwork to responsibility, this program helps develop valuable real-world skills while giving back to animals in need.
While we strive to provide animal interaction in every class, activities may change based on the animals available and the shelter’s needs at that time.
Spaces are limited to 14 participants per session
Scholarships are available. Please apply here.
