VOLUNTEER RESOURCES

Interested in volunteering with us?

We’d love to have you! Our volunteer group is a vital part of the center. Volunteering at the CMLC is a great way to get involved in the community, continue learning about the Oregon coast–this spectacular place we call home, enjoy special volunteer events, and more. A minimum of 6 hours per month is required. Volunteers must be 16 or older to volunteer on their own. We do have a paired youth volunteer program for 13-15 year olds, to volunteer as a team with a parent or other adult. Please have a look at the volunteer position descriptions provided below and fill out the brief survey. We will be in touch.
