Volunteer Information and Rules
We require that volunteers schedule their volunteer time - no walk ins - and that they volunteer for at least 2 hours at a time. Please email adoption@newleashonline.com to see if we have openings.
You can complete 2 hours of volunteer time daily. If you need to complete more than 2 hours for TN Promise, due to court order, or for a class assignment, please plan to volunteer at NLOL multiple days to complete your required time or consider volunteering with multiple agencies. If volunteering due to court order, please bring paperwork from the court/probation officer stating your offense. (We are not able to accept volunteers with offenses that are theft or violence related.)

Volunteers 14-17 years old will need a waiver signed by your parent/guardian and parent/guardian must accompany you the first time you volunteer.
