Whether you're a cat cuddler, dog walker, critter photographer, or just love animals, there’s a place for you in the League of Volunteers.
Event highlights include:

- Informational booths – Explore a range of volunteer opportunities and roles.
- Same-day sign-ups – On-site support available to guide you through the volunteer application process.
