Once your application has been reviewed, and the orientation training has been completed, KHS Volunteer staff will reach out to you with further details on how to get started! There is a one-time, non-refundable volunteer registration fee. This fee is due on your first shift or in-person training and covers your volunteer t-shirt, lanyard, and training materials. Assistance is available for individuals experiencing financial hardship.
- $15 per adult
- $25 for an Adult/Youth Pair

KHS strives to provide volunteer opportunities for all community members! If you need special assistance with the application or on-site accommodations, please email volunteerdept@kitsap-humane.org so we can best support you while you are volunteering with us!
Calling all teens! Join our new Caring for Critters after-school program!
Registration is now open for our new Caring for Critters after-school program. This month-long opportunity is for 13- to 15-year-old youths who want to volunteer with KHS and receive guidance from our awesome staff. Volunteers will have dedicated time once a week to get hands-on experience at the shelter. They will learn about animal care and enrichment at KHS while developing an enrichment project to share with some of our animals at the end of the month!
Classes are limited to 8 volunteers, so sign up soon! Email our Volunteer Manager Chris at crussell@kitsap-humane.org for more information and register today: http://ow.ly/gWVY50NBKIV
Need to Complete a School Volunteer Requirement?
You can complete your required volunteer hours at Kitsap Humane Society! If you would like to work hands on with our animals to complete your hours, due to the extensive training provided we require a minimum of 25 hours prior to signing off on any paperwork for hours completed. If you require less than 25 hours, we have different volunteer tasks that do not involve any animal handling. For more information, contact us at volunteerdept@kitsap-humane.org .
