		Volunteers are very important people at Colorado Reptile Humane Society. As a private, non-profit organization, we rely on the assistance of caring and hardworking volunteers in all of our programs. To volunteer, you must be at least eighteen years old, and willing to make a six-month commitment of approximately three hours per week. In a year's time, CoRHS receives nearly 300 unwanted and abused reptiles, and helps hundreds of people and animals throughout Colorado and beyond. Our main shelter is located in Longmont, north of Boulder. We also have an active volunteer group in Colorado Springs. To get started, potential CoRHS volunteers should download our application and mail or fax it to CoRHS. We will contact you for a volunteer interview and get your started helping homeless reptiles!
