Join the National Marine Life Center (NMLC) to support the rehabilitation and release of stranded marine mammals and sea turtles. Volunteers are essential to the success of our mission, contributing to animal care, education, administration, fundraising, and facility maintenance.

Volunteers gain hands-on experience, access to continuing education, discounts in the gift shop, and participation in appreciation events. Comprehensive training is provided, including virtual reading materials, quizzes, and on-site "shadow shift" training. Before proceeding with training and scheduling, volunteers must pay a Volunteer Training Fee of $35.00. We ask that volunteers commit to at least six months of service, with minimum hourly requirements depending on your volunteer position.

Volunteering with NMLC offers the chance to make a significant impact on marine wildlife conservation while gaining valuable skills and experiences. Join us today!
