Volunteer with MSI!
Become a Volunteer Docent at our Aquarium!
A new program for MSI, our monthly Aquarium
Spotlight Days offer opportunities for the public to come down and enjoy
interacting with the amazing array of marine life in our classrooms &
aquarium! Volunteers will be trained in safe handling of some of our animals,
proper touching etiquette, and interesting facts about their diet and life
history. Volunteers trained as Docents are also eligible for ongoing assistance
in the Aquarium feeding and caring for the animals. Send Aaron a note if you are interested.
