Do you love whale watching? Cape Ann Whale Watch is looking for volunteers for this fall.

Who?

Cape Ann Whale Watch, in Gloucester, is looking for a 2-3 local volunteers who would be available through October to join us onboard as educators on our trips. (September trips are 1:00 during the week, and 8:30 and 1:30 on the weekends. October is 10:00 every day.)

What?

We educate passengers about marine life around the Gulf of Maine as well as to foster a sense of environmental awareness, respect and responsibility. You don’t need any previous experience, although enjoying whale watching is important. We will train you onboard.

When?
We are looking for 2-3 people that can commit to 2 days a week.

What Would You Do?

Educators circulate the boat with hands-on teaching tools to educate the public about whales and their environment (such as a sample of whale baleen or a 3-D model of Stellwagen Bank). Once the actual whale watching begins, educators help collect data on whale behavior and identification for our research. Our volunteers also are available to answer passengers’ questions on a wide variety of topics–everything from whale behavior to ocean conservation (which you will know many answers too!) If you enjoy it, we would love to call you to fill in in the future as well!

If you are interested:
Please reach out to Jamie or Cynde through the office 978-283-5110:

Gentle and generally relaxing, reiki sessions are often viewed as supportive care by patients receiving them.Though the science is still out about the effectiveness of reiki, a number of hospitals and healthcare settings are incorporating reiki as adjunctive support for stress and pain management. (Contact me for current research studies related to reiki in the oncology setting.)
