The Summer Teen Volunteer Program itself will run from Sunday, June 15th-Monday, August 9th. Summer Teens are expected to volunteer for 50 hours for the summer at the Aquarium. This is about 8 hours per week and usually consists of 2 4-hour shifts, but we are flexible about what would work best with your schedule. Participants will also be required to attend 3 learning opportunities throughout the program. These opportunities will be both on and offsite. Examples include shadowing husbandry team members at the Aquarium, touring Carolina Beach State Park with a ranger to learn about park maintenance and fire suppression, and beach clean-ups in our community. You are allowed to attend more than 3 of these programs.
