Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Ocean Institute!

Due to a high number of applicants, we are not currently accepting new volunteers.

You can still contribute by participating in one of our public beach cleanups, adopting an animal, or donating.

Beach Cleanup Opportunities

Looking to give back to the ocean and your community? Join us for a two hour Beach Cleanup!

Ocean Institute beach cleanups removed over 1,700 pounds of trash in 2019. Help us prevent even more trash from entering our ocean in 2020. Please wear closed toed shoes and bring a refillable water bottle. Those 16 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. Ocean Institute will provide trash pickers and compostable bags!

Beach Cleanups are offered in partnership with Stand Up To Trash.
