One mission of BAFN
is to foster an interest in animals for youth. We
take pride in providing students with opportunities
for career exploration, self-discovery, personal
development and community service.
Benefits
The most obvious benefit of participation, of course,
is that students get to work with animals! Participants
are specially trained to handle many of the small
animals in the Brooklyn Animal Foster Network.
What's more, participation often fulfills a student's
community service requirements. Some of our participants
have received community service credit for their
work with us. (Students should check with their
school to determine whether BAFN participation
meets this requirement.)
Requirements
- Volunteers
needing community service credit for school
must agree to complete a minimum of 48 hours
per year.
- Volunteers
are expected to maintain excellent attendance,
punctuality and conduct.
- Volunteers must be at least 13 years of age to
participate.
- A signed
permission form must
be provided by your parents if you are under
the age of 18.
- Duties may include taking
dogs for walks, socializing kittens, cleaning
dishes and crates and more.
