DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT BEING A FURRY SCURRY VOLUNTEER? 
WE HAVE ANSWERS! 

What can I expect as a Furry Scurry volunteer? 

The Dumb Friends League will host a pre-event, virtual training on Monday, April 22 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. While not required, this training is highly encouraged, especially for first-time volunteers. Participants must complete the volunteer sign-up form (available in March) to attend. Meeting link information will be emailed the week prior to the training. 

How do I get my volunteer T-shirt? 

Volunteers can pick up their volunteer T-shirt at our Furry Scurry Packet Pick-Up event from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, May 3 in Washington Park (intersection of S. Franklin St. and E. Mississippi Ave.). Those who cannot attend will receive their volunteer T-shirt when they check in on event day. A private changing tent at Wash Park will be available at that time. 

My child is under the age of 16. Can they volunteer if I volunteer with them? 

Unfortunately, no. All Furry Scurry volunteers must be 16 years or older, regardless of whether a parent/legal guardian is present. 

I plan to volunteer to help with pre-event tasks so that I can walk on May 4. As a volunteer, can my Furry Scurry registration be waived? 

As the Furry Scurry is the League’s largest fundraiser, we are not able to waive event registration fees for volunteers. 

Does volunteering for the Furry Scurry count toward court-ordered or school community service? 

No, it does not. If you are needing community service hours, please email csvolunteer@ddfl.org for information on enrolling in our community service program. 

If you have any other questions about the event or any potential volunteer position, please contact our Volunteer Services department at mnicholas@ddfl.org.   

Thank you!
