Special Volunteer Programs

Scripps La Jolla offers some special volunteer opportunities in addition to patient care and other support areas throughout the hospital.

Calling all pet lovers

Scripps La Jolla also offers a very special program led by our four-legged therapists — our pet therapy program. Your pets can contribute to a patient’s quality of life because they provide a sense of peace and purpose. Our pet therapy program uses a certified pet therapy dog to visit and comfort our patients.

Moms, are you ready to try something new?

Scripps La Jolla has a new program for moms interested in volunteering. Whether you are a stay at home mom or dealing with a newly-emptied nest, we offer volunteer opportunities with flexible hours — day, evening and weekend shifts are available.

See our Volunteer Moms flier (PDF, 179 KB) for more information about the program, and the Volunteer Moms Mixer event.

Give back to the community, make professional connections, build friendships, enhance your resume, set an example for your kids, or do something just for yourself! For more information, contact volunteer services at 858-626-6994.
