A group of young adults interested in employment opportunities within the animal science field visited the St. Augustine Humane Society recently. The students are participants in the St. Johns County School District’s Life Work Transition Program and are concentrating on developing the skills required for successful employment.
Staff and volunteers with the Humane Society spent a few hours with the students, touring the surgery center, administrative offices and Society Pet Spa. A few potential apprentices and their instructors are planning a return visit for more in-depth information about employment and volunteer opportunities with the St. Augustine Humane Society.
“We so appreciate our community partnerships,” said Lynn Washington, community outreach director for the Humane Society. “People helping people is what St. Johns County is all about. Programs like this can be a win-win situation for everyone involved.”
Organizations interested in partnering with students in the St. Johns County School District’s Life Work Transition Program can contact Jennifer Argentina at Jennifer.Argentina@stjohns.k12.fl.us.
