Although the MSPCA’s volunteer program requires that volunteers be at least 16 years old to work with animals.

But many children want to experience what it’s really like to roll up their sleeves and get a little dirty cleaning cages and mucking stalls! Six times a year, for three hours on a Monday morning during Massachusetts school vacation days, adult-child pairs are able to participate as hands-on volunteers at the MSPCA.

Each group participates in an animal care chore, support chores, and an educational presentation that includes a fun activity and animal meet & greet. Animal care chores include cleaning cat cages, walking gentle dogs, or mucking horse stalls. Available to kids in grades 2-6.

All chores are fully supervised by trained staff and volunteers to make sure that everyone has a fun and safe experience.

Details:
- Participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis
- Each pair is defined as a child and a parent/guardian (or a babysitter, adult sibling, grandmother, Big Brother, etc.)
- For families with more than one child who wants to participate, another adult is required to attend
- All registered families will be contacted via email, two weeks prior to their registered session, with additional program details
- The program fee totals $20 per pair, which helps support our many animal care and adoption programs!
- This required donation is due at the time of registration and is non-refundable
