Volunteers are recruited and trained by the Division Volunteer Coordinator, Tammy Champo. They are recruited from the University of Utah, Westminster College, Salt Lake Community College, area high schools, and the general public.
The volunteer's efforts contribute to the success of the Division. We appreciate the dedicated volunteers who contributed their time, talent and service to the youth of Salt Lake County.

Cash donations are received in behalf of the Division by ShelterKids, Inc., our private nonprofit organization staffed by an independent, volunteer Board of Trustees who are committed to the youth and children of Salt Lake County.
The community support makes the special services we provide possible.
