We're happy to support students and scout groups working on school projects and service activities. Most of the ways young people can help are simple, at‑home projects that make a meaningful difference. While our capacity is limited and we can only offer a few structured options, we provide clear guidelines, virtual interview opportunities with advance notice, and welcoming drop‑off visits for completed projects and donations.
What we can offer:
- 30‑minute interviews by phone, Zoom, or email (with at least two weeks’ notice)
- Guidance through our website, annual report, and mission information
- Donation drop‑off visits and Humane Hero Awards
Be sure to review our donation guidelines before dropping off any items.
What we cannot accommodate:
- In‑person interviews
- Requests with less than two weeks’ notice
- Job shadowing, volunteering, or service hours
- Requests from students outside Fairfax County

Humane Hero Award
Be sure to pick up a Humane Hero Award to commemorate any achievement you or your community group has accomplished to support FCAS. Just ask the front desk staff at either campus.
