If you’re an active adult who is passionate about the environment, loves nature and the outdoors, and would relish the chance to participate in a vibrant volunteer program, this is a wonderful opportunity. SERC’s volunteer outreach programs are looking for individuals to inform and share SERC science with the public.

• Our Docents lead groups of up to 15 visitors along wooded and waterside trails, while sharing exciting research on coastal ecosystems and environmental challenges.
• Our Speakers Bureau delivers informative talks in person or virtually to community groups to promote awareness of SERC mission and science.
• Our Community Engagement group represents SERC at community events to promote awareness of SERC mission and science by staffing information tables and engaging the public informally.

Our volunteers are fully trained and often have opportunities to interact with leading environmental scientists and gain behind-the-scenes glimpses into SERC’s world-class research and experiments.
