Spring Volunteer Training To Begin At The Oregon Coast
Aquarium
Newport, Oregon—
The Oregon Coast Aquarium volunteer spring training session
begins on April 6th, 2013. In order to apply applicants must submit
an official application which is available at the admissions area of the
Aquarium or on www.aquarium.org. After
receiving your completed application, the Aquarium will then contact the
applicant prior to training to conduct an interview. The Oregon Coast Aquarium volunteer program is in its
20th year and is proud to have the amazing service of nearly 450
volunteers. Since its conception, the program has provided an opportunity to
learn about the fascinating marine life that we have in the Pacific Northwest
and to share that knowledge with visitors. Volunteer opportunities at the
Aquarium exist in the areas of diving, interpreting, greeting, grounds,
community outreach and special events.
During the six week interpretive training course, volunteers
gain in depth knowledge about the biology of the animals in our collection.
They also have the opportunity to meet our husbandry staff and learn about how
they care for our animals. Volunteering at the Aquarium requires no special
education or background, just a willingness to learn and commit to 100 hours per
year.
“The Oregon Coast Aquarium makes a significant commitment to
its volunteers by offering a first-class training program; a supportive staff in
both the education and animal husbandry departments, and a highly rated
facility,” said Julie Shafer, Interpretive Shift Captain. “This commitment makes
it a joy to volunteer and to share my experiences with our valued visitors.”
Volunteers
receive numerous benefits including a membership to the Aquarium, discounts in
both the café and gift shops and many others. To participate as a volunteer you
must at least 14 years old, possess an interest in marine science, enjoy meeting
new people, and have the ability to attend all necessary training.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium is a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization located in Newport on the beautiful Oregon Coast. Our mission is to
inspire the public to better understand, cherish and conserve marine and coastal
ecosystems. The Aquarium is a member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
It has been named one of the top 10 aquariums in the U.S. Visit us at 2820 S.E.
