Volunteer Program
We're honored that you are considering donating your time to become a DPMMR volunteer.
All volunteers begin by learning more about DPMMR and our daily operations by assisting our Animal Care team with answering guest questions, photographing guest programs, and helping maintain the facility.
Volunteers must commit to completing a minimum of one 4-hour shift each week for a minimum of 12 weeks.
Application Process
Once a completed application and payment are received, a volunteer coordinator will review and process your application. Applicants will be contacted via email regarding the status of their application. Volunteer positions are limited with each department and are filled as vacancies occur. Volunteer applications will still be processed as they are received regardless of open positions and will remain on file for 365 days from the processing date should a vacancy occur. Once accepted to the program, volunteers will receive more information from the volunteer coordinator regarding orientation, training, and scheduling.
