These volunteers engage primarily with school groups and chaperones but may also interact with other aquarium guests during operating hours and special events. Ages 18+ only. Greatest need is Tuesday through Friday.

Additional Ambassador roles are available and can be acquired upon completion of the initial training commitment.

We welcome volunteers at all levels of knowledge, from beginner to expert! All necessary training will be provided.
