A warm welcome to our volunteers!

Thank you for your interest in CACVT and the various opportunities available to our volunteers. We are fortunate to work with many wonderful and committed Certified Veterinary Technicians, Associates and Students who serve the association in many ways.

The association has persevered and thrived because of the contributions of many dedicated individuals over the years. Each individual who has offered his/her time and talent has enriched this association. CACVT appreciates the past, current, and future volunteers.

CACVT Socials

The focus of the CACVT Social Event is to have fun meeting new people, learn what the association does for you, and possible volunteer opportunities. 

By coming to this event, you are in no way committing to anything. However, we want to ensure that there is a good fit for all. Thus by attending a Volunteer Social Event, you are able to learn the roles, responsibilities, and how the association functions as a whole. This is an informal, casual event that is meant to be fun and informative. There will be a brief presentation and then socializing.

Please contact Jeff at admin@cacvt.com with questions, comments, or to RSVP. If you can't make this event (not a good night), but would be interested in attending a future one, please let us know that as well.
