We have many volunteer opportunities:
If you work or worked in the fishing industry or are part of a fishing family, we hope you will share your industry skills and knowledge:
The Center needs volunteers during operating hours (Thursday-Sunday 10:00-4:00) and for occasional evening programs and special events. Regular shifts are 3 hours long, mornings or afternoons, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or occasionally! For project-based volunteering, hours are flexible and can be scheduled according to your availability and particular area of interest.
You do not need to be knowledgeable about the fishing industry in order to be a volunteer. As a volunteer with NBFHC, you will have opportunities to participate in “insider tours” and talks to learn first-hand about the commercial fishing industry from fishermen, scientists, shoreside workers, and fishing family members. Additionally, Center staff and veteran volunteers will provide you with training about exhibits, the gift shop, programs and events.
