The MAPR Volunteer Program’s purpose is to create bonds and a general sentiment of goodwill between the Museum, the Puerto Rican community and the visiting public. This program will identify, train, and evaluate the people who through their own free will decide to offer their time to educate, facilitate and strengthen visitors’ experience in the Museum.
The Volunteer Program is composed of a team of community citizens, students, active and retired professionals from all segments of society, who provide services in the diverse educational, cultural and administrative areas of the institution.
Volunteers are divided into three groups: educational, hosting and auxiliary administrators.
