Teen Conservation Leaders (Monterey Bay Aquarium)

Teen Conservation Leaders is a summer program for high schoolers who choose one of three tracks: Guest, focused on visitor interpretation; Animal Care & Engineering, at the intersection of marine science and technology; or Science Communication, covering social media and multimedia storytelling. Participants build career and life skills alongside Aquarium staff, commit to 3-4 days a week plus mandatory June training, and earn community-service hours rather than pay for their time.
