Volunteer @ Aquarium

[Quang]

Sup Guys and Gals,

I have to do some volunteering time for school (Fordham University) and wonder if anyone worked/volunteer @ the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn. If you do, can you give me some people to contact or recommendations? I'm particulary interested in their AH/OLMS Volunteer group. So if anyone has some pull with the Aquarium or the coordinator of the volunteer service (his info is on the below link), please help a fellow MRer out. Thanks

P.S. I can send resume or references upon request.
If anyone have any other suggestions for volunteer service w/ sea life (that's accessible by public transportation...I dont have a car), I'll be glad to check it out.

LOL. I figured no one has any suggestion. I expected it somewhat though. Thanks anyway.

I used to volunteer there 15 or 16 years ago I interned there for 2.5 years it was an amazing experience I highly recommend doing it.

The guy who was in charge of the internships name was Pete Ponciano. He's retired now ( actually I think he passed away). Talk to anyone at the Osborn Laboratory I'm sure they will hook you up.
