Pawsitive Service - Youth Service Day

Pawsitive Service is a youth service day that takes place four times a year. Youth ages 14-17 can fulfill a community service requirement that is both educational to them and helpful to the San Diego Humane Society!


Our next youth service days:

Saturday, April 20th
North Campus in Oceanside

Saturday, May 18th
Central Campus in San Diego 

(If you miss these dates, please come back to this page to check for future dates!)


Are you looking for a fun and educational way to make a difference?  Are you trying to meet a community service hours goal for your school, civic group, church or college applications? Do want to help provide enrichment opportunities for animals during their stay at the San Diego Humane Society? 

Then Pawsitive Service might be for you! 

Pawsitive Service consists of two parts.  You will complete the first part at home in preparation for your service day (the second part) at either the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA’s North Campus in Oceanside or Central Campus in San Diego.

Consistent with our regular volunteer program age requirements, children ages 14 to 17 are welcome to participate.  Anyone younger than 16 must attend with a parent or guardian.


How Does it Work?

Part 1 - At home:
Collect supplies to make pet enrichment items for adoptable animals to bring on your service day at San Diego Humane Society and SPCA.

Part 2 - On-site:
Participate in a three hour service day at the San Diego Humane Society where you will use the materials you collected to create a variety of enrichment items for our animals.

When Will the Next Session be Held?

The next Pawsitive Service Projects will take place on Saturday, April 20th at our North Campus in Oceanside and Saturday, May 18th at our Central Campus in San Diego.
