Critter Club Application

A unique education and volunteer opportunity (that looks Paw-some on highschool and college applications) for kids in 6th-8th grade who have a passion to help and protect animals. Members will attend Thursday nights at HAWS and volunteer on the weekends on Saturday or Sunday (of choice) during the morning. Sessions run for an entire school semester.

Children interested in becoming a member must complete an initial application (located on this page to the right.) Once that is submitted, you will need to submit two recommendations from non-related adults (teachers, ministers, scout leaders, etc.) and write an essay about why pets are important to you within 48 hours. Please send these to [email protected].

Upon approval (please allow 24-72 hours after submission for us to review), you will be emailed a private link to complete registration and payment ($200). 

Note: Returning club members may request to bypass the application process by emailing Alexis at [email protected] directly.
