Volunteering at the Front Desk

Front Desk volunteers are responsible for answering phones, paperwork, filing and working with the public. There are also other clerical needs that we need help with throughout APS. Front Desk volunteers receive ‘on the job’ training. There is no training session.

If you are able to fulfill the requirements below and are interested in volunteering at our front desk, please email volunteer@apsofdurham.org for this month’s orientation dates.

APS Volunteer General Requirements:

Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age (We have limited opportunities for teens which require volunteering with a parent or guardian. Please ask for more information).

Volunteers must work at least 8 hours per month and commit to volunteer for at least six months.

Volunteers must also be able and willing to follow the procedures we have in place for the safety of both our animals and volunteers.

All Volunteers must attend an orientation and complete necessary training before they begin.

We do not accept volunteers who are required to volunteer for court ordered or attorney recommended community service and we are not able to validate volunteer hours for such purposes.
