The Whale Museum Docent Training Program: The Whale Museum is pleased to offer our
Docent Training Program for the 2009 summer season. Volunteers aged 14 and over are needed to help visitors in our Exhibit Hall. By using artifacts, text panels, and hands-on specimens, docents are trained to assist visitors in identifying the characteristics of marine mammals, which marine mammals live in the area, and inspire conservation by sharing information about the impacts of human activity on whales, marine mammals, and the oceans of the world.
Learn about our local Southern Resident Killer Whales, a federally listed Endangered Species. Learn about the interactions between humans and whales over time. Personalized training provided to fit your schedule! Office volunteers are also needed in our Orca Adoption Program. For more information call Nikki Ruggiero, Volunteer Coordinator, (360) 378-4710 ext. 28.
Founded in 1979, The Whale Museum’s mission is to promote stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem through education and research. In addition to providing exhibits, the Museum also provides programs including: the Orca Adoption Program, Soundwatch Boater Education, Marine Naturalist Training, San Juan Islands Marine Mammal Stranding Network, and the Whale Hotline.
