NHSPCA Special Events Volunteer

Thank you for your dedication and gift of time to the New Hampshire SPCA (NHSPCA). In an average year, our volunteers provide over 60,000 hours of donated time on an annual basis. We could not fulfill our mission without each and every volunteer, and we are truly grateful. Please take a few moments to complete the online version of our application form.  Your assistance will allow us to deploy Better Impact more completely and correctly.  By doing so we can best use this new software for shift scheduling and logging hours and you, as volunteers, will be able to update your information and have immediate access to your own volunteer hours. Please review the Volunteer Agreement below. You will need to agree to it before completing your sign up. Thank you!
