Whale Trust Volunteer Opportunities
Whale Trust has several volunteer opportunities in which you can donate your time and skills for marine research, education and conservation here in Hawaii. While there are nearly always positions available for administrative, education, and various events we contribute to or oversee during the year, research positions usually require submitting a CV or resume to mlynn@whaletrust.org.
Below is a list of annual events where we often rely on volunteers. Included with each event are the following items: description, length, type of activities, and advance notice requirements. Preference is generally for individuals or small groups of people that are preferably high-school age or older.
