Are you spending the summer on the Outer Banks? Are you looking for something exciting to fill your time? Consider volunteering at the aquarium as an interpreter! As a volunteer, you will help visitors learn about coastal North Carolina animals and habitats, meet new people and give back to the Outer Banks community. This program is looking for people with the desire to share information with the visitors in an interactive and hand’s on way.

Volunteers are required to commit to one 2-hour shift a week for a period of 10 consecutive weeks during the months of June, July and August. Summer volunteers are provided with an orientation to the aquarium and volunteer program with special training on animals and interpretation techniques. This is a great opportunity for college students who would like to gain experience in an aquarium setting as well as summer vacationers who want to learn and share information about North Carolina animals and habitats.
