The Northcoast Marine Mammal Center in Crescent City, California is looking for volunteers! With harbor seal pupping season upon us, we are preparing for another busy year of Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release. We are looking for interested and dedicated individuals to lend a hand and get involved.
Originally founded by three volunteers, the Northcoast Marine Mammal Center relies entirely on a dynamic volunteer work force. NMMC is a private Non-Profit Organization, dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of stranded, sick or injured seals, sea lions, dolphins, porpoises and whales along the northern coast of California. The Center, located in Crescent City’s Beachfront Park, also promotes public understanding of marine mammals and the importance of our marine environment. The energy and dedication of many talented people are needed to maintain the smooth operation of the NMMC. Not only do volunteers conduct all rescue and animal care at the Center, but we also rely on them to operate our gift shop and conduct educational outreach at local schools and community events. Volunteering at the Center can be a fulfilling and exciting adventure. Consider sharing your talents and meeting others whom share you concern and love for the ocean environment and its creatures. Volunteers are essential during an emergency, but it is the year round efforts of volunteers in animal care, fundraising, and our Gift Shop that make NMMC rescues possible. Our Volunteers are the people that have and continue to make the NMMC a reality. Interested in becoming a Volunteer? Please complete the online form on our website (www.northcoastmmc.org/opportunities/volunteer) and we will contact you as soon as possible. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and attend orientation and training classes. Thank you for your support!
