Earn Service Hours By Fostering An Animal In Need!
Teens and kids can get school and volunteer service hours in their own homes by providing much-needed care to an animal in need of short-term or long-term foster care. After parents are approved to become foster care volunteers, students will be given a log to track the hours they spend caring for the pet in their home, such as walking, grooming, bathing, and providing enrichment. Service logs can be emailed to education@lollypop.org with the parent’s signature for a service letter to recognize your student’s work. Fostering is a great way for young animal lovers to better the lives of animals in need and receive service hours from the comfort of their own homes.
