What is Community Outreach?
RSPCA Qld believes that people and pets are better together. The emotional, mental and physical benefits of the relationships between people and pets highlight the importance of a proactive community outreach. Our positive impact within the community is made possible through the support of our community outreach volunteers.
The Community Outreach team aims to support and educate the community in becoming informed and responsible pet owners. This rewarding role would suit like-minded individuals who enjoy engaging with members of their community whilst promoting and supporting RSPCA QLD programs and services.
