Volunteers needed

Volunteer opportunities:

1. We need volunteers to organize groups for steamboat trips.
2. Anyone versed in public relations, lesson plan writing, grant writing, and related organizational skills could also be a great help. Office space for you is available.
3. Boat crew (deckhand, engineer, or captain) and on-board teachers are also needed as we expand this educational project. It is a fun and worthwhile hobby.
