Guilford County Animal Shelter VolunteerFor some activities the Guilford County Animal Shelter (GCSA) will require their volunteers to take a training session which is 1.5-2 hours long. Before going to the GCAS you will need to schedule your training session. After you have completed the training, you will be able to volunteer for these activities at the GCSA. The training is counted towards your hours of community service. If you do not want to complete the training, you can go online and sign up for any of several activities. The GCSA is located at 4525 W Wendover Ave in Greensboro. There web address is:

If you do not have your own vehicle and cannot carpool, then you can use the Greensboro Transit Authority. I have given you a link below that will allow you to put in your departure position and target destination to get a specific bus route. You can find the fees and time of travel there as well. http://www.greensboro-nc.gov/index.aspx?page=2182 Wellness CenterThe UNCG Wellness Centre campaigns for Public Health via a variety of different techniques. You will work with the Wellness Centre to participation in their public health campaigns. The first step will be to contact a member of the Wellness Centre to find out how you can help and if there is any training you might need to complete. You will need to ask about the public health campaigns and how you can help. This is a unique opportunity. The Wellness Centre provides peer counseling to students having problems coping. Only a select few students are chosen to be trained (I unit course) and allowed to counsel student. Student counselors are paid for their counseling services. By participating successfully in Public Health campaigns sponsored by the Wellness Centre, you can increase your chance of being chosen for such a position with the Wellness Centre.

Sometimes the best motivation comes from within. There are many opportunities here on the UNCG campus and in the Greensboro community. As you might imagine there are a few restrictions to this choice. You will need to work out the details with the institution you want to work with.
