Lebanon County Animal Response Team, Inc.

 

NEW VOLUNTEER CHECKLIST

 

PASART volunteers fall into three basic categories, Service, Resource, and Advocacy. Service volunteers will provide direct service in the operation of a County Animal Response Team (CART) such as animal rescue and sheltering as well as administration, planning, logistics, public information and other operational functions. Resource volunteers allow the CART the use of equipment or property for either training or during an actual emergency or disaster. Advocacy volunteers support the team by serving on select committees designated by the Board of Directors, such as fundraising, membership, events, public education and outreach, and donations.  The following checklist by volunteer category details requirements and documentation for the volunteers. All types of volunteers MUST complete a registration form either from the brochure or online.
