WHAT DOES VOLUNTEERING FOR BUNBURY DOLPHIN DISCOVERY INVOLVE?

We have two types of volunteers at the Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre:

Long term volunteers are usually those who live and work in the Bunbury region. They must spend a minimum of four hours at the Centre each week for a minimum of six months, although they are welcome to spend much more.

Short term volunteers are usually visitors to the Bunbury region and/or those who want to be involved for a short time only. To become a short term volunteer you must be able to spend a minimum of six weeks at the Centre and be available to come in at least five days a week. There is a standard minimum of 4 hours per day.

Activities of a volunteer:

• Talking to visitors on the beach - explaining what the Dolphin Discovery Centre does
• Assisting in the management of the Interaction Zone during dolphin visits
• Participating in "Coastcare" activities and assisting with current research projects
• Assisting with dolphin observations in the Bay and monitoring of dolphin visits to the zone
• General maintenance and cleaning
• Tour guiding through the Interpretive Centre for the general public, tour groups and school students
• Generally assisting with various tasks around the Centre
