COURT-ORDERED COMMUNITY SERVICE
 |
The Connecticut Humane Society is able to accept a limited number of applicants for our court-ordered community service program.
Court-ordered community service volunteers do not work hands-on with the shelter animals. Volunteers assist the staff with janitorial duties such as picking up litter and pet waste, washing floors and windows, organizing the garage, folding laundry, and other tasks as assigned.
