Meet the Volunteer Coordinator & Team!
Here at CARE we want every Volunteer to feel welcome, prepared, and confident every time they enter the building! To ensure their success, we offer digital training, basic onboarding, as well as group and one-on-one training sessions with our lead volunteers!
​
Below you will learn more about Audrey, our Volunteer Coordinator, and her fabulous team of Interns and Volunteer Leads!
Audrey Salazar
CARE Humane Society Volunteer Coordinator
Hey! My name is Audrey Salazar and I am the Volunteer Coordinator. I began working at CARE back in 2019 and have adored my time here so incredibly much. I am overjoyed that you are interested in joining our team as a volunteer! I can't wait to show you around and share this special place with you!
I have two large dogs, pictured here! I adopted Shadow back in 2015 and Yaya from CARE Humane over a year ago! I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 10 and love being able to give that experience to others!

Meet the Interns
We have four Volunteer Coordinator Interns here who help with everything from emails to training!
Amanda Shapiro
Amanda became a volunteer almost a 2 years ago and has since dedicated herself to various aspects of the program! Along with being an intern, she has participated in the adoption ambassador program, helping at our youth summer camps, social media, and dog walking! She is a vital addition to our program and plays such a large role in both our dogs' lives and volunteers' experiences! We are so grateful for her continued dedication and positivity!
