Train Puppies while Teaching Youth
Each EPIC Pals volunteer is matched with a young person and the foster dog they work with for about 90 minutes twice a week for seven weeks. Volunteers help EPIC with logistical needs, contribute to group discussions, serve as positive adult role models for young community members, and help the young people they are paired with to stay on task with the daily training lesson. In addition to EPIC Pals volunteers, we need foster homes for EPIC Pals pups. Fosters agree to provide a temporary home for a dog in need while he or she completes the EPIC Pals program.
