El Cajon Campus
Thank you for your interest in serving at our El Cajon Campus. We are now accepting applications to volunteer as a Guest Guide!
Guest Guides are the first smiling face our visitors see when they arrive on campus. You'll help provide a welcoming experience by greeting each guest and connecting them with the services they need. Community members visit us for many different reasons, such as adopting a new family member, bringing in a found stray, receiving free pet food and supplies, reclaiming a lost pet and more. Whatever they need, our Guest Guides are there to welcome them with compassion and direct them to the appropriate department.
Guest Guide shifts are typically posted Tuesday-Sunday from 10am-1pm, 1-3pm, and 3-6pm. We are closed to the public on Mondays.
Minimum commitment:
One two hour shift every other week, flexible schedule
Volunteer Requirements:
