The Center for Coastal Studies is looking for volunteers to staff our
summer outreach booth.  Manning the outreach booth is an important task -
people at the booth represent the Center and are often the only point of
contact visitors have with our organization.  We will have orientation and
training for volunteers at the beginning of the summer (primarily at the
end of June), and we do our best to give volunteers exposure to the Center
for Coastal Studies' work so that they can speak knowledgeably and with
confidence.  Volunteers do not need to have extensive background in order
to be great representatives.  The most important *attributes outreach
volunteers do need* are:

   - enthusiasm for Cape Cod Bay and the ocean and interest in the Center
   for Coastal Studies' work with the environment and whales
   - good health - they need to be fit enough to be on their feet in the
   sun for several hours
   - willingness to put up with varying weather - both hot and cold/windy
   - enjoyment of people and willingness to chat and engage with them
   - to be between the ages of 18 and 80
   - reliable transportation

This would be a good activity for marine science students as well as for
permanent or part time Cape Cod residents concerned about our coastal
environment.  We ask for a minimum commitment of  4 hours per week for 6-8
weeks.  We are very flexible.  The possibility for students to create and
incorporate short term projects into their experience at CCS also exists.

Please contact Beth Larson ASAP if this is something that interests you.
