Join Our Volunteer Sea Crew!

Our new interactive marine center on Stearns Wharf has tidepool creatures, real oceanographic equipment, a partially dissected dolphin, and state-of-the-art equipment, but it's missing one important thing---YOU!

As a Ty Warner Sea Center volunteer, you will serve as an exhibit interpreter, helping visitors discover the wonders of the Santa Barbara Channel. If you love the ocean and marine life and like working with people, we invite you to join our Sea Crew. No experience is necessary----we'll provide a hands-on training and an online marine science curriculum to get you started. Then, every month, we'll invite you to attend an advanced training or field trip with a local expert to keep building your knowledge base.

The minimum commitment is one three-hour shift each week, which can take place any time during our operating hours of 10 am to 5 pm,seven days a week. In addition to training and recognition events, Sea Crew volunteers receive free admission to both campuses of Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, store discounts, and passes for friends and family.

Our new volunteer trainings take place monthly. To reserve a spot in our next opening training or to learn more about our program, please contact our volunteer coordinator Leeza Charleboix at 805-962-2526 ext. 104, or via email: seacrew@sbnature2.org.

See you at the Sea Center!

Interested Teens?

High school and junior high students (with teacher's recommendation) are also invited to apply to join our Sea Crew! You must be 14 years or older and ready to make a dependable weekly commitment. To learn more about our program, please contact our volunteer coordinator Leeza Charleboix at 805-962-2526 ext. 104, or via email: seacrew@sbnature2.org.

Our Sea Crew is Already Making Waves

Our current crew of 100 Sea Crew Volunteers range from age 13 to 93, from surfers to science teachers and football players to photographers. They all share a passion for the natural world, and we're lucky to have them on board!
