Get Started Volunteering

HOW DO I BECOME AN EPAS VOLUNTEER?

IF YOU ARE 14 YEARS OR OLDER:

1. Create an account on our Volunteer Portal, MyImpact and submit a volunteer application.

2. Attend an in-person Volunteer Orientation (schedule below) or take our Virtual Volunteer Orientation on your MyImpact app.

3. If you choose to take the Virtual Volunteer Orientation, you’ll be directed to complete a quick quiz. Once you complete the quiz, email EPASVolunteer@elpasotexas.gov to schedule a Shelter Tour.

4. At your Shelter Tour or in-person Volunteer Orientation, you’ll tour your volunteer location, learn more about volunteer programs and protocols, and be able to begin your volunteer journey with EPAS!

All volunteers between the ages of 14-16 must volunteer with a parent or guardian, who will also become a volunteer. For ages 16 & 17, parents or guardians must attend the Volunteer Orientation and Level 1 Animal Handling Training.
