Other announcements:
Critical announcements will be posted to the Greenville Humane Society’s facebook page and/or website. Volunteer alerts can typically be located on one of the following pages of our greenvillehumane.com website: homepage header, calendar.
I missed my assigned shift and/or need to change my volunteer schedule. What do I do?
Volunteering is a 2-hour commitment, each week, during your scheduled day and time.
Absences:
Absence notification is only required if you have missed (or will miss) more than 3 consecutive shifts. Missing more than 3 allotted (consecutive) shifts will result in your dismissal from the program, and your name will be removed from the schedule.
Temporary Leave of Absence:
If you must take a leave of absence, lasting more than 1 month, you will lose your shift and be removed from the schedule. You must attend a volunteer orientation in order to reapply for the program. Registration is required for all volunteer orientations.
Schedule Changes:
If your schedule has changed and you wish to a different volunteer shift, please email the Volunteer Coordinator. Please understand that we cannot meet all requests.
Where can I find volunteer announcements, news, instructions, and/or special event opportunities?
For volunteer news, please check the volunteer board, located outside the Volunteer Workroom.
