Volunteer
with CFI
Volunteers assist us with everyday tasks around our facility. They work side-by-side with our biologists to ensure that our fish receive the care and attention they need to thrive. By focusing primarily on student volunteers and recent graduates, we provide hands-on experience to the next generation of conservation professionals and educators.
