We rely on our strong volunteer community to support a wide variety of our programs! Our volunteer positions are great for those who want to learn about marine conservation, share their passion for the ocean with others, or learn about careers in marine science and the non-profit sector.

Volunteer positions vary seasonally due to changes in weather and our needs. Most of our opportunities require little training, while a few positions require specific experience. Some positions require a regular schedule, but most of them are flexible to your availability. Learn more by exploring the positions available in the programs below.
