Seymour Marine Discovery Center Seeks Volunteers!

Have fun helping others learn about the importance of the ocean environment! Become a docent at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center at Long Marine Lab.

The Seymour Center is seeking volunteers for its 2014 docent training class. Training begins on January 8 and concludes on March 29. Classes meet each Wednesday evening and on Saturdays. Applications accepted for adults 18 years of age and older.

Seymour Center docents lead tours to the marine mammal overlook, interpret the exhibits and aquaria, and help visitors handle the seawater animals safely––including the sharks in our shark touching pool. Experience hands-on learning, interact with fascinating ocean scientists, and make friends that will last a lifetime!

Come meet fun and dedicated people who share your enthusiasm for the ocean. Learn about local marine life and scientific research.

Gain experience in public speaking, and interpreting marine science research and conservation. Regular enrichment opportunities are offered to active volunteers throughout the year.
