Tour de PAWS Off-Site Traveling Team
What is Tour de PAWS?
Here's another super fun way to get involved.... Consider joining our "Tour de PAWS" off-site traveling team.
Longview PAWS off-site events are in full swing and we need HELP!! Now that the World has kind of taken a deep breath and we've found a new sort of normalcy, we're ready to welcome "Tour de PAWS" Volunteer Ambassadors. Our off-site schedule is FULL and we need big smiles and warm hearts to join us.
Volunteer roles include educating our community on the importance of pet adoption/pet responsibility, soliciting new volunteers/supporters and advocating on behalf of the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center.
We're looking for fun, outgoing animal-lovers who are willing to attend off-site socials, community outreach initiatives, off-site adoption events and fundraisers. We understand that many of our supporters live busy, commitment-filled lives but still want to do their part. This is a great way for you to support our efforts without a huge time commitment as most events are nights and weekends. You step in and step up as your schedule allows!!
Does this sound like something FUN for you?!? First step- join our Tour de PAWS FB group. Next step, email longviewpaws@gmail.com to get started.
Requirements to Volunteer with Tour de PAWS:
- must 18 years of age or older (children 13 and over may attend off-site with parent/guardian's supervision).
- must be willing and able to communicate via email and/or social media as these are our primary forms of relaying volunteer opportunities.
- must be willing and able to read/sign commitment form that explains and solidifies LACAC's and PAWS' purpose and mission prior to participating as a PAWS Ambassador. Support and advocate for both organizations' missions.
- must visit our Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center for a full-tour of our facility. We are willing to schedule these as a group or individually. We feel it's important our Ambassador's fully understand who and what they are advocating for. Must be willing to give us an hour to walk through our shelter prior to volunteering on PAWS behalf.
