volunteering?<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Due to the nature of working with live animals in a stressful environment, as well as having a minimum age for volunteering outlined by our Five Acres insurance policy, we cannot authorize individuals under the age of 18 to volunteer directly with our animals, though we do appreciate the philanthropic spirit of kids from toddler-17!\u00a0 Please check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveacresanimalshelter.org\/youth-involvement\/\">Youth Involvement<\/a> page on our website to learn more about how younger kids and young adults can help the animals at Five Acres!<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>5. <strong>Why do I have to pay a registration fee?<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The registration fee covers your volunteer t-shirt, access to your volunteer portal and other expenses associated with our Volunteer Program and Volunteer Appreciation events.\u00a0 As a nonprofit organization, Five Acres thanks you!<\/p><p>\u00a0 6. <strong>Can I just come to play with the dogs or cats without going through orientation?<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">We do not offer this type of opportunity to unoriented and untrained volunteers. The shelter can be a stressful place for animals, offering the potential for an animal to act out in a manner that could be unsafe for a person, the animal, or both. Our volunteers are trained on the proper way to handle animals in this environment, and because our top priority is to keep these animals safe, we do require each volunteer to go through orientation and shadow training.<\/p><p>\u00a0 7. <strong>Can I volunteer virtually?<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Yes, you can!<\/p><ul><li>If you become a trained dog walker, you are invited to participate in Mobile Events or Cuddle Breaks.\u00a0 These are off-site events and held at fun venues and businesses around the St. Charles\/St. Louis area.<\/li><li>As a trained dog walker, you can become a volunteer for our Adventure Team to take dogs off campus (must be trained and walk dogs on campus before getting approved for the Adventure Team).<\/li><li>We also have creative opportunities for both kids and adults (for details, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveacresanimalshelter.org\/youth-involvement\/\">CLICK HERE<\/a>)!<\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>Make snuffle mats or no sew blankets for our animals.<\/li><li>Make homemade treats for dogs and\/or cats.<\/li><li>Host a donation drive at your school, workplace, or neighborhood event<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4><strong><u>COMMUNITY\u00a0 <\/u><\/strong><\/h4><ol><li><strong>What is the process to volunteer with Five Acres if you are required to volunteer a certain number of hours (school, organization, religious, corporate\/workplace volunteer time off)<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Whether you are a corporate group, student or community group, or not old enough to volunteer with animals quite yet, there are still plenty of ways that you can make a difference at Five Acres!

are interested in working directly with the animals.\u00a0 Volunteers who work directly with animals go through extensive training to know what to expect and learn about our policies and procedures when it comes to being on our campus working with the animals.\u00a0 We like to remind people that this is a shelter, so most of our animals are pretty stressed out and, while here, do not act like they will once they are home able to relax and get loved on and pampered!\u00a0 We welcome you to hold a Donation Drive for Five Acres!\u00a0 Visit our <a
