Upcoming Meetings
For the next few months we are encouraging everyone to practice social distancing and will be holding the general meeting lectures remotely. If you want to watch any of the lectures live, visit our registration page. March 15, 2023, 6:30 pm. The NEAq Office of Volunteer Programs & Internships seeks to become a service leader through the Greater New England environmental community. We accomplish this goal by thoughtfully crafting meaningful service opportunities that are mutually beneficial to participant and the institution. These opportunities fulfill the unpaid staffing needs of our institution while providing participants with highly educational and hands-on experiences. We seek to create experiences that empower volunteers in their roles as Ocean Stewards and encourage them to mobilize their fellow community members to do the same. The Office of Volunteer Programs & Internships operates with the following values in mind:
Presenters:
Chris Bauernfeind - Senior Aquarist/ Dive Volunteer Coordinator Ashley and Lissette have recently taken over the role of dive operations at the New England Aquarium. The Dive Operations Office works closely with all exhibits that require diving as part of their regular operations to design safe dive practices. We are constantly seeking ways to improve the dive program and extend these education opportunities to all dive volunteers. We believe that safety practices accompanied with recurrent training can improve diver's awareness. Such opportunities include CPR/ First Aid & O2 administration. Please join us for an info session about our diving program and all different opportunities available to volunteer. April 19, 2023, 6:30 pm. General Meetings are normally held the third Wednesday of each month. Meetings will take place in person, at the Aquarium Cafe, and online via ZOOM.
