🐾 Teen Pack Members (13–17)

Hands-On Tasks:

• Everything from the Junior list, plus:
  
• Helping with leash walking in secure areas

Hands-On Tasks:

• Deep cleaning stations or rotation

📝 How It Works:

Volunteers choose their favorite areas or rotate through new ones each visit.

On any given day, staff (family/employees) may ask for help elsewhere if needed, and we appreciate the teamwork!

Every role matters—and every pack member, no matter the age, helps keep GrowlTopia running with love.
