Originally founded by three volunteers, the Center relies heavily on a dynamic volunteer work force comprised of over 800 individuals from Mendocino through San Luis Obispo counties.
Volunteer
Volunteers help us rescue and rehabilitate sick and injured marine mammals, educate the public about ocean conservation and so much more!
Volunteer opportunities:
- Sausalito Main Hospital
- Monterey Bay
- San Luis Obispo
- Northern Rescue Range
- Hawai’i Island
In our expanding and exciting environment, the energy and dedication of many kinds of people are needed to keep the Center running smoothly. While some volunteer assignments require you to be at least 18 years of age, there are special youth opportunities for those under 18.
Volunteering at The Marine Mammal Center is fun and a great way to meet others who share your concern for wildlife and our ocean environment. Your special talents can make an important contribution! Want to know more or ready to commit? Start by attending a new volunteer orientation.
