Corporate Volunteer Groups: Special half-day projects, which are scheduled Tuesday-Friday from 9am-1pm, are for corporate groups or clubs (up to 12 people) to help with gardening, painting, or beautifying our Mission Campus. Most of these special volunteer projects do not include direct animal care or handling, but do include a tour (where you get to see our adoptable animals) and an overview of our mission and programs. Group Service Project dates are set in advance and we may not be able to accommodate specific date requests. Please feel free to reach out about alternate dates.
We are grateful to corporate volunteer groups like yours to help us complete important projects on our campuses.
To find out about our needs and to reserve a date for your group, please email us at mcrow@sfspca.org. Please note that all volunteers must be over 18.
