The goal of my leadership project is to innovate the Adair County Humane’s Society volunteer program to improve the organization and effectiveness of the volunteers. This will improve the well-being of the Humane Society’s workers and the animals involved. I plan to do this by:
-Creating a longer, more thorough orientation which will involve an animal trainer. The trainer will demonstrate positive reinforcement for the good behavior of dogs, which will help them become more adoptable.
-Communicating through a new, private Facebook group that will further inform those who have attended the orientation. They can receive up-to-date information on how they can help at the Humane Society or how to volunteer.
– Encouraging and advertising to students the ability to do their scholarship jobs at the Humane Society.
-Creating a positive community through monthly events at the Humane Society such as get-togethers, group activities, and social media spotlighting of volunteers.
