RSR Rangers & Volunteer Spring Series Event: Jobs in Animal Welfare

Join us at Ruff Start Rescue for a Rangers & Volunteer Event on March 19th, 2026! Ruff Start Rangers, a program within the Education Department, aims to educate youth through service and activities in hopes the future of animal welfare sees fewer homeless pets and more responsible pet owners. All themes in this series come from this program.

Jobs in Animal Welfare is an engaging education program that introduces participants to the many career paths that support animals and the people who love them. Through real-world examples from rescue work, veterinary care, training, wildlife conservation, nonprofit leadership, and more, participants learn what it takes to make a difference in animal welfare. This program highlights both hands-on roles and behind-the-scenes careers, encouraging compassion, responsibility, and exploration of future opportunities working with animals.

The event will start at 5:30 pm and is estimated to last ~90 minutes; we will do a brief presentation about the topic then do a fun themed activity together! When signing up, please include parents and kids in the total admission number so we have an idea of how many will be in attendance.
