Volunteer at Florida Oceanographic
The volunteer program at Florida Oceanographic is successful because it attracts dedicated, enthusiastic and passionate people who live our mission. Currently, we have over 250 volunteers integrated into every aspect of the organization. Volunteers take ownership and pride in working with Florida Oceanographic and contribute thousands of hours each year.
A variety of volunteer opportunities exist at Florida Oceanographic for individuals (as young as 8) and groups. We have family opportunitites, project specific opportunities and regular opportunities for volunteers who are able to make a longer commitment. Please take a minute to browse through our Volunteer Opportunity Descriptions (below) and fill out our online application. Information sessions are scheduled regularly and are a great time to tour the Coastal Center and learn more about the volunteer opportunities that are currently available.
