We have been thrilled and honored to work with students from Rutherford County and surrounding areas here at PAWS. To ensure everyone's safety, one of our policies is that before a student may volunteer at PAWS, they must attend a one-time volunteer orientation (last no longer than an hour). We generally hold them once a month, on the 3rd Thursday of every month.

All volunteer information can be found on our website: here.  We have a special orientation day coming up this Thursday if students would like to attend... due to construction August orientation will be closed, so this one will be the best opportunity to get into the program for students before the school year begins. PAWS would love to have TN Promise students here to help. We already have quite a few with us, and they are truly some great volunteers!
