VOLUNTEERING
To Volunteer with Friends of the ARK, contact Lee Harrison, 361-332-6361. We do fundraising for the Amos Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) and provide educational presentations. There is no membership fee or insurance required to fundraise or do public speaking. We just have fun while we support the ARK. We have something going on all the time. You sign up for events when you wish and we meet as needed. We are always wanting new members and new friends!
You can help as often as you wish, and there is no mandatory amount of hours to devote. You need to have at least one of the following qualities: energy, creativity, muscle, logic, common sense or a sense of humor. Two or more of these qualities makes you a life time member.

Friends of the ARK at work!
To volunteer at the ARK or to be an ARK Turtle Patroller from April 1-July 15, you must have health insurance and complete the Volunteer packet for the University of Texas Marine Science Institute.
The ARK always needs energetic volunteers to help with the care and feeding of the critters. You need to love critters, be willing to do the less glamorous jobs such as cleaning pens and doing laundry, but you work your way up to feeding the ARK guests.
To volunteer, just call (361) 332-6361. There is no minimum number of hours, but you must be at least 18 years old.
