Creature Teacher

Is the Creature Teacher Program for YOU?

• Do you enjoy spending time with children and animals?
• Are you comfortable speaking in front of groups?
• Do you have a car or access to a vehicle?

If you answered YES to the above questions, you may enjoy volunteering in humane education as a Creature Teacher!

Humane Education

The Humane Society of St. Lucie County offers schools and other groups presenations on responsible pet ownership, dog-bite prevention, pet safety/CPR, shelter tours and much more! We frequently bring an adoptable, temperament-tested animal from the shelter for the presentation or a registered therapy dog.

What is the typical profile of a humane education volunteer?

Humane education volunteers have diverse backgrounds. We have had students, retirees, homemakers, former and aspiring teachers, and individuals who enjoy working with kids, adults and animals.

Volunteers at the shelter must be 15 years of age or older. Volunteers at PETCO must be 18 years of age or older. We are a drug-free workplace.
