High school students in grades 9-12 are invited to join us on Saturday, May 17, for a day of learning and service at the Jacksonville Humane Society! Participants will learn about how the adoption process works at JHS as well as strategies and tools we use digitally and in-person to help the pets in the shelter find homes. We’ll complete a variety of projects designed to help promote our pets for adoption both online and in the shelter, with a special focus on some of our long-stay dogs and cats. In addition to completing a variety of service projects, participants will have the opportunity to meet and interact with a JHS dog and JHS kittens or cats. All participants will be awarded 4 community service hours at the end of the day. Drop-off is from 10:45 - 11:00 a.m. and pickup is from 3:00 - 3:15 p.m. If your child will be driving themselves to/from JHS, please indicate so when registering.
