In addition to regularly scheduled animal-assisted therapy team visits to healthcare, social service and educational facilities, UAATA volunteers participate in other service opportunities.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Interfaith Hospitality
UAATA volunteers visit the homeless families at the Unitarian Church several times a year.
Holiday Group Event
Every year UAATA schedules a group visit to a senior citizen facility during the holidays to share their animal's love, holiday treats and a visit from Santa and his "helper" (a white Samoyed named Tundra)
Group Visits
Occasionally we are asked by a facility to come out as a group for a special event. We bring several teams and socialize with clients providing as much "one on one" with our therapy animals as possible.
COMMUNITY AWARENESS
UAATA participates in many community awareness events and educational presentations to help educate the public about the availability and benefits of animal-assisted therapy
Some events UAATA has attended for public awareness are:
University of Utah Wellness Fair
Autism Conference
Memory Walk (Alzheimer's Association)
No Hitter Day (Preventing Child Abuse)
Strut Your Mutt
Central High, Granite School District
Various Elementary School Classes upon request
