We Need Volunteers!

You can help Save the Manatee Club by becoming a Club volunteer. SMC volunteers staff tables at manatee-related events, engage in speaking presentations, help out in the SMC offices, write letters and send e-mails on issues of concern to manatees, and report information to manatee researchers. You can make a difference for manatees!

Interested? Get a description of volunteer positions and fill out our online volunteer application form.

For additional questions, please send an e-mail to volunteer@savethemanatee.org or call our office toll-free at 1-800-432-JOIN (5646) and ask for Janice Nearing, Public Relations Director.
