Administration
Help us make our plans and dreams a reality. Volunteers
are needed to assist with special projects, accounting,
and data-entry. Commitment is often flexible, and some
administrative tasks may be scheduled on a one-time or
an on-call basis. All are integral to The Center's smooth
operation.
|
|
Communications
Seasoned writers, web support, designers, photographers,
and multimedia experts are needed on a project basis.
|

Development
Does your expertise or preference lean more toward the
two-footed rather than four-flippered variety? We could
greatly benefit from your help with in-kind donation tracking
and pick-up, mailings, data-entry, special events, and
research.
|
|
Facilities
Do you enjoy building, repairing and inventing? If you
have mechanical aptitude, carpentry, plumbing, landscaping
or gardening skills, we need you! The facilities crew
works every Wednesday. Special projects may be scheduled
at other times. Six month commitment is preferred.

 Info
Hut
This is the first line of public contact. Volunteers greet
visitors, operate the switchboard, answer questions and
help ensure that the public's contact with The Center
is friendly, efficient, and informative. Plus, The Hut
has a fabulous ocean view! Commitment is for at least
six months, one day a week for a 3 to 6 hour shift.

Membership
Without our members, The Center could not exist. The Membership
Department is absolutely essential in providing support
for our pinniped patients. Support our revenue generating
efforts and help The Center's work by assisting with membership
mail processing, special events and other duties.

Sea Lion Information
Working outdoors overlooking K-Dock, docents provide
information and enhance visitors' observations of
the wild California sea lions. Docents also count
the sea lions, and look for tagged or injured animals
and unusual species.
Indoors we offer various educational opportunities
to visitors; exhibits include videos, an interactive
computer, marine mammal specimens and informative
displays. Docents working in this interpretive center
greet and provide information to drop-in visitors,
and perform sea lion population counts. Formal training
is provided in January and August.
