The hard work and support provided by community volunteers allow DPR to extend the impact of many of our programs and services. A volunteer is anyone who chooses to perform services for DPR without momentary compensation or in expectation of any compensation. Volunteers under 18 must have written consent from a parent or guardian before volunteering. In addition, a volunteer must be officially vetted and complete the DPR Volunteer Certification Process before performing any volunteer service.
