Sea Mar has different application processes for general volunteers and interns/externs. Please note that this process depends on you submitting the required paperwork.
Please fill out whatever application applies to you:
1. Check available opportunities on our website to find an intern or extern position that matches up with your interests and skills OR directly contact Sea Mar sites and locations you would be interested in volunteering at and inquire about any volunteer opportunities at specific sites. Your academic advisor from your school will also be able to assist you in finding opportunities and contacting local sites and clinics.
