Georgian Triangle Humane Society
Location

Duties
Overview & Impact: The Humane Education Program is an excellent way to connect with youth in our community and teach them about empathy, compassion and responsible pet ownership by focusing on the human-animal bond. Annually more than 4000 youth participate in the Humane Education Program - building skills in social and emotional development.
Based on the Humane Education Volunteer’s skill set and chosen course / club, they may support this important GTHS program at our Collingwood Animal Centre and / or in the community. The majority of our programming takes place onsite at our Animal Centre.
Position Summary: Reporting to the Humane Education Specialist, Humane Education Volunteers assist and engage youth aged between 7-17 enrolled in a range of GTHS after-school programs. The youth age group supported will depend on the course / club the HE Volunteer selects.
Time Commitment based on area(s) of interest: 8 consecutive weeks’ commitment is required (onsite session dates will be provided at time of application or enquiry). Volunteers will be expected to arrive 15 minutes before and stay approximately 15 minutes after the club / course session time.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES may include:
- Assisting with running the program at the direction of the Humane Education Coordinator
- Helping to create a fun, encouraging learning environment
- Live videoing and explanation of Animal Centre activities (tour, Q&A)
- Making animal related crafts
