MySpace a place for friends

Heal the Bay's marine education facility, the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, provides a unique curriculum dedicated to pollution prevention, marine conservation, and environmental education. The Aquarium is located on the historic Santa Monica Pier adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. It is a premier field trip destination for school groups and an educational resource for the entire Los Angeles area. At just under 5,000 square feet, the Aquarium provides a hands-on educational experience for school groups and the community at large through its interactive exhibits and touch tanks.

Volunteering at the Aquarium is a great opportunity for individuals to make a difference by teaching students and visitors about marine life and their role as stewards of the ocean. Volunteers of all ages will find many rewards in their volunteer service, such as gaining experience for a resume, contributing to vital community education, and making good friends. To volunteer at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, you must be at least 15 years of age.

For more information about volunteering and interning at the Aquarium, please visit our website at www.healthebay.org/smpa. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our volunteer coordinator, at 310-393-6149 x114. We look forward to meeting you!
