Volunteering: Animal Care

   
Pacific Marine Mammal Center

As a non-profit organization, our volunteers are the backbone of our operation.  Each year our Animal Care and Education volunteers commit over 25,000 hours to the care of our patients, the maintenance of our facilities and the education of our community. 

Animal care duties consist of laundry, dishes, cleaning pens, preparing fish for meals, feeding, weighing animals, rescues and releases. 

To volunteer at PMMC, you must be 21 years of age or older and willing to commit to one half-day shift per week for a minimum of one year.  Morning and afternoon shifts are based on our patients’ needs and are a minimum of five hours per shift.  During our busy season (March through August) we have more patients in-house and our animal care work load increases significantly.  During these busy months, animal care shifts are more demanding and each shift can last a minimum of six to eight hours.

If you feel you meet the above requirements, please fill out the application below and email, fax or mail it to Pacific Marine Mammal Center, attention: volunteer coordinator at:
