PAWS for People

 

PAWS for People is seeking volunteers who have gentle, affectionate pets (dogs or cats) to join this non-profit organization to share your pet with others.  We visit in hospitals, hospices, assisted living & Alzheimer's facilities, along with many other places.  We also provide the PAWS for Reading program to libraries and elementary schools; this program allows children to read to a dog or cat to improve their reading skills and enjoy reading more.

For more information, check our website www.PAWSforPeople.org or contact Rich Phillips at retengteach05@comcast.net or by phone at 302-834-9245.

They need tutors for math and English. They need mentors who will take the time to help them acquire the skills and credentials necessary to secure a path to a better job and higher education.  All volunteers will go through a JFS orientation and background checks/fingerprinting.
