How do I become a Volunteer?

First, review a list of volunteer opportunities. If you see one or more that you are interested in pursuing, please use the registration form below to sign up for an upcoming Volunteer Orientation class. Attendance at Volunteer Orientation is a prerequisite for most volunteer opportunities.

Alternate training is offered for:

• Placer SPCA Thrift Store
• Placer SPCA in Auburn
• Fostering animals in your home: although you are allowed to take the basic Foster Care Class prior to Volunteer Orientation during times of urgent need, you should take the Volunteer Orientation class as soon as possible.

For information about community service volunteer opportunities for children and youth, please click here. Youth age 13-17 may volunteer as a Junior Team with a parent or guardian. Learn more.

The Volunteer Orientation class is held at the Placer SPCA in Roseville. The class includes a presentation about the history of the Placer SPCA, our Mission and Vision, animal success stories, and the many ways caring volunteers can make a difference in the lives of homeless animals. The class will conclude with a tour of the Roseville facility.

After the presentation, if you have decided that the Placer SPCA is the right volunteer fit for you, you will be invited to complete a volunteer application. A $25 materials fee ($35 for junior teams) will be collected at this time, which will cover the cost of a t-shirt, name badge and all training materials needed for your volunteer service. This materials fee enables us to continue our volunteer program without taking any money away from the support and care of the animals.
