Get to know them.

Ocean Discovery Institute connects young people with science and conservation through programs rooted in City Heights. Its volunteer opportunities are a way to contribute to that learning, with roles extending well beyond direct animal care.

You might help at a Community Connection Day at the Living Lab, support a student as a college mentor or tutor, or share a science-related career through a virtual interaction. Longer science-mentoring and residency formats are also described. The organization welcomes adults from varied backgrounds, while particular science roles have their own fit criteria. Compare the formats and time commitments before applying so you can offer help that matches your experience.
