The Lycoming County SPCA is a membership organization, as established in its bylaws 125 years ago. We request that our friends demonstrate their commitment to our work for needy animals by becoming a member. Please join now, and enlist your friends who are animal lovers to do the same. Because of the sensitive nature of our work and the potential liability involved, the SPCA does not take volunteers under the age of 14. In addition, all volunteers must go through a screening process to determine suitability for tasks which are available.
Potential volunteers fill out applications which are reviewed, and often an interview is conducted.
All volunteers must attend an orientation, which is usually held twice a year. In addition, depending on the assigned job, more extensive training may be required. Depending on a volunteer's level of experience, jobs range from clerical to greeting and escorting visitors, to socializing and grooming animals. Every service performed by a volunteer is essential to the success of our programs. If you are interested in becoming a Lycoming County SPCA volunteer, please stop by the shelter for an application.
