Group Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in bringing a group to volunteer at the Richmond SPCA!

• Volunteer groups are scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 10 a.m.

• We can accommodate groups of 3 to 10 volunteers per shift. If your group is larger than 10 people, we can schedule multiple service dates to include more volunteers.

• All volunteers must sign our Volunteer Release and Waiver of Liability prior to the start of their volunteer shift.

• The Volunteer Management Team can accommodate volunteer groups of high school–aged students and older. Requests for middle school–aged groups or younger should be directed to our Manager of Humane Education, Chelsea Auernheimer, at cauernheimer@richmondspca.org. All children under 18 must present a waiver signed by a parent prior to the start of their shift.

During volunteer group shifts, we assign volunteers a variety of tasks to support our different departments and to help with special projects. At the end of their shift, volunteer groups will have the opportunity to meet and give some love to shelter pets in our care who are awaiting their forever homes. 

The Volunteer Management Team schedules volunteer groups on a quarterly basis.

We are now scheduling groups for January, February and March. If you would like to be notified when we begin scheduling groups later in 2026, please email us at volunteer@richmondspca.org to be added to our volunteer group waiting list.

Thank you again for your interest!
