Shift Selection

Teen Conservation Leaders (TCL) is a service learning program for high school students. That means we gain your incredible talents as a volunteer, and you gain new knowledge and skills through this program. We rely on our volunteers to keep the Aquarium running. It’s really important – for the Aquarium and for your growth – that you can commit to all of the dates below. Please block these dates on your calendars – we’ll ask you to block 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. for now, because exact times are still being determined, but no day will be longer than 8 hours. We will send more specific times after you’ve been accepted into the program.


Please confirm if you can attend on the listed dates:







This summer, we will be offering three different opportunities, or tracks, that you can apply for.  Please refer to the website for information about each track. You will have the opportunity to share your track preference during interviews.
