Current Volunteer Opportunities

  • New! Monofilament recycling bins - this spring and summer, we'll be placing several monofilament recycling bins at local marinas and tackle shops. We can use help with this project, both in getting the bins installed and monitoring them (removing fishing line and filling out a short data sheet) throughout the summer and fall. E-mail jen@blueoceansociety.org for details.

  • Volunteer Night!  We have monthly (usually) Volunteer Nights scheduled for 2 hours on a weeknight at our office. Projects have included collating newsletters, organizing merchandise, and helping to make photo note cards (which we use as a fundraiser). No training is needed, and it's a great way to meet our scientists/educators and learn more about what we do, while hanging out with others who care about the marine environment!  If you might be interested, email jen@blueoceansociety.org and we'll contact you when the next one is scheduled!

  • Beach cleanups - we have monthly beach cleanups at several beaches, and are always looking for help!  Cleanup Information & Dates

  • Tide Pool/Touch Tank Educator

  • Office help - assist with special projects in our office. Can include mailings, organizing merchandise, filing, etc.

  • Promotions - we're looking for someone to help promote our special events, such as beach cleanups and presentations, and work with us on program development.

  • Educational programs - we're looking for people interested in marine education & conservation to work with our educational programs, either in schools or aboard whale watches (whale watches run May-October).

  • Executives - have experience in strategic planning/capacity building/fundraising?  We'd like to hear your ideas!

Our volunteer positions are great for those who want to learn about marine life and marine conservation, or want to learn about careers in marine science.
