A nine-week training course, in the fall, provides information on our animals, and their habitats, and training in interpretive skills. In addition there are monthly training updates. Volunteers assist various departments including administration, marketing, membership and volunteer services. Welcome visitors, provide an orientation to the facility, answer questions and distribute literature on aquarium programs. A minimum of 2 shifts a month is required.
Training is provided and new volunteers are paired with experienced volunteers.
Make our simulated tide pool and adjacent interpretive station come alive for our visitors. Volunteers give talks on life in the tide pools and work at the interpretive station, demonstrating feeding methods, camouflage, and how animals protect themselves. One shift a week is required. Training is provided on the job. Help is also needed to keep the exhibits running.
