Regina Humane Society Organizational Policies for Volunteer Application
Thank you for your interest in applying to become a volunteer with the Regina Humane Society (RHS)!
Prior to filling out your application, please review the following:
1. A Basic Criminal Record Check (CRC) is required to be completed before volunteering with the RHS. If you're interested in volunteering to support RHS Education Programs, a Vulnerable Sector Check will be required.
A previous CRC or Vulnerable sector check can be utilized as long as it was completed within the last year. This document will be needed during the application process as either a scanned document, or a clear photo. If you are uploading a pdf file, please ensure it is not password protected. *Please do not drop off Criminal Record Checks at the RHS, these should simply be attached to your online application*
You can apply for a criminal record check with the Regina Police Service online directly here: https://reginapolice.ca/resources/criminal-record-check/
*To apply online, a letter from the RHS is not required to receive the Volunteer application pricing ($10) which is at your own cost.
To apply in person, or to get a Vulnerable Sector Check completed, you will be required to book an appointment to complete this check in person (with the Regina Police Service). More information regarding how to do this is available at this link: https://reginapolice.ca/resources/criminal-record-check/
*Note: When applying in person for a Criminal Record Check, you may need a letter from the RHS stating that you are applying to Volunteer with us. To request this documentation, please email volunteer@reginahumane.ca.
2. All Volunteers are required to sign the RHS Volunteer Code of Conduct & Waiver form.
This form is now available to sign when creating an account in Better Impact! Please continue creating your account and read through the Volunteer Code of Conduct and Waver before signing.
3. Review the Age Restrictions Regarding RHS Volunteer Programs
Age 7–11: Eligible for Kitty Reader Program only, supervised by a parent or guardian aged 18+. Adults volunteering with children must complete the orientation, waiver forms, and a criminal record check. One child per adult so that full assistance can be provided to the child.
Age 12–13: Restricted to working with adoptable cats, supervised by a parent, guardian, or person aged 18+. Same requirements as ages 7–11.
Age 14–15: May volunteer unsupervised, limited to working with adoptable cats and small animals. Parent or guardian co-signs waiver forms.
Age 16–17: May volunteer unsupervised, eligible for adoptable dogs, cats, and small critters. Parent or guardian co-signs waiver forms.
Age 18+: Must submit a Criminal Records Check (CRC) and sign volunteer waiver forms. CRC’s are obtained locally, with a fee from Regina Police Service. This can also be completed online.
Note: if you are an adult applying to volunteer with your child, both you and your child will need to complete an application form. When applying to volunteer with your child that is under the age of 14 years, you will only need to pay one administration fee for both of your applications*
