Please note:
For volunteers joining us for school community service hours, we would like to remind you that we do require a five-month commitment before we sign off on hours.
For volunteers needing court-ordered community service hours, we sadly do not fit the criteria and are unable to sign off on hours.
Volunteers under 16 at Arlington must volunteer with a guardian. If you need a parent/guardian/job coach to volunteer with you, they will need to fill out a separate application and mention they will be volunteering with you: https://purrfectpals.org/volunteerapplication/
