New Volunteer Orientation

The National Marine Life Center functions with a great deal of support from our amazing volunteers. Whether it is helping to file paperwork in the office, answering phones when they ring, educating the public about marine animals and rehabilitation, or working with the rehabilitation patients themselves, our volunteers are there! If you are contemplating becoming a volunteer with the National Marine Life Center, please come to a volunteer orientation. We will be having three orientations throughout the summer. Orientations are a great time to meet the staff, seasoned volunteers and potential new volunteers.  All orientations will be at National Marine Life Center and light refreshments will be served. RSVP to Joanne Nicholson, jnicholson@nmlc.org or (508)743-9888 X 302.

Volunteer Requirements: Volunteers must be 14 years old to work in Administration, Education and with the Headstart animals. Volunteers must be 18 years old to work with the rehabilitation animals. Volunteers maybe 12 years old if they are accompanied by a parent; there will be no direct contact with animals for anyone under 14 years old.

Without our volunteers we would never be able to educate the public, give amazing care to our rehabilitation animals, or be part of the community! Thank you to our current volunteers and we look forward to working with you!
