The Whale Museum is holding an open house for anyone interested in volunteering with TWM’s Education Department. The open house event will be held on Friday, April 29 from 11 a.m. -12 p.m.

If you have some spare time and are interested in the Salish Sea and marine mammals, this is the perfect opportunity for you! Education Department staff will be available to discuss volunteer opportunities and answer questions. Light refreshments will be served.

On-site volunteer opportunities include becoming a docent to educate visitors and youth about marine mammals as well as serving as preschool and elementary teaching assistants. No experience is necessary – training will be provided! Scheduling can be flexible although most school groups typically visit the museum from 11 a.m. -1:30 p.m. on weekdays so that would be the time(s) of most need. Open House attendance is not a requirement to volunteer at The Whale Museum.
