Wags and Walks is a dog rescue organization that offers year-round volunteer opportunities for students ages 10 and up who want to make a real difference in the lives of rescue dogs. Volunteers can choose from a variety of hands-on roles, including dog walking, playtime, enrichment activities, crate training, and puppy care, as well as off-site opportunities in event support, content creation, and fundraising. Students ages 10 to 15 volunteer alongside a parent or guardian, while those 16 and older can participate independently. This is a meaningful and flexible way to give back to animals in need while building real-world skills in animal care, community service, and more.
