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. A mentor is selected and a new docent works with this senior docent for approximately 2 months, using the training manual provided for self study. These are available on a limited basis, year round. To participate students must be 16 years or older with an aptitude for science and good communication skills. A semester commitment is required.
