Bring Your Team Together for Meaningful Impact

Group volunteering at PAWS offers corporate teams, clubs, and friend groups engaging opportunities to support our mission while building stronger connections. Opportunities are available Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 3 PM in Wayland, Michigan. Availability is limited and fills quickly, so we encourage groups to reach out several months in advance to find an opportunity that works for them.
