Help with socialization, dog walking, training, laundry, bathing or cleaning of the kennels. We also have a garden to maintain and other administrative duties for those that want to assist in other ways.VOLUNTEER ROLES: Pet Photographers - Have a digital camera? Like to take photos of animals? Then join the photo team and commit to at least one day a week to take digital pictures of pets. A picture is worth a thousand words and this case those words are "Adopt me!"Cat Cuddlers - Cat Cuddlers are responsible for nurturing, socializing and giving attention and affection to cats and kittens during their stay at the Animal Center, making them more comfortable on the adoption floor.
Fido Fitness - Fido Fitness provide the dogs with their daily exercise. The Center has a yard that the walkers can use, or you can walk around the block. Tired dogs are content dogs; content, calm dogs are more adoptable.

Volunteeer Spot
My name is Katie Preisser, and I'm the agriculture committee organizer. I am here to help in any way I can, including creating a schedule of planting and harvesting. Hopefully you have all received the link to the volunteerspot calender where you can sign up to help on specific days. Any time you can spend helping is greatly appreciated. If you find that you have free time in a day, come on out and join us, we're always happy to put you to work.
As of now the schedule goes through May. Of course there will be a lot to do this summer, but much of that work is dependant upon weather, pests, and how the plants are doing, so really every day is likely to turn into a harvesting/work day starting in late June.
If you have any question, please call me at 804-263-5281 or email this account or my personal account kpreisser2002@yahoo.com.

Eight hours per month. That’s all that it takes to make a tremendous difference in the life of a child. The Dare County Friends of Youth mentoring program has been helping to improve the lives of young people in our community since 1990.
Our volunteer mentors include small business owners, health care professionals, educators, retirees & many others who give freely of their time & talents to provide at-risk youths in the community with the guidance & friendship that they desperately need. Mentors & youths are matched for the period of at least one year, often creating lifelong friendships.
The young people involved in our program are between the ages of 6 – 17 and are referred by a variety of sources including parents, school guidance counselors, the court system, etc. They are just like any other adolescent or pre-teen, but often have limited resources to deal with difficulties & challenges that arise.
The Dare County Friends of Youth mentoring program will hold training session for new volunteers on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 from 5:30 – 9:00 p.m. in Manteo. If you are interested in attending the training, please give us a call at (252) 475-5753 and we will be happy to send you a volunteer application.
Let your friendship be the gift in a young person’s life by volunteering with the Dare County Friends of Youth mentoring program!

Help restore oyster reef in the Pamlico Sound. Submit Request for
Since 2002 The Nature Conservancy has helped to construct over 65 acres of oyster reef in the Pamlico Sound. It is estimate that today’s oyster reefs in the Pamlico Sound only cover about 50 percent of the area where they once existed. Oyster reefs are vital to the Sound’s health. One oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day, helping clean the water. The reefs also provide valuable habitat for other animals including fish, shrimp, clams and blue crabs.
| What Volunteer would do? | Tasks include bagging oyster shells and building oyster reef in the sound. Work days are open to most people. Past work days have included elementary school children, but the work can be hot or cold depending on the season and it does require some lifting. Participants should wear close-toed shoes, long pants, long-sleeved shirts, hats, and bring water and a snack. The Conservancy will provide work gloves and other materials. |
