- Outreach and Education. We love bringing people together to learn about whales, dolphins, and marine conservation. We produce innovative and effective programs like Orca Talks, Orca Tours, and Welcome the Orcas. We’ve invented games like Orca Bingo to help people learn, and have fun while they are doing it! We always need help with events, from planning and putting up posters to taking tickets at the door, or staffing the Whale Trail display. Do you like working with the public? Do you want to plan or help us put on an event? No matter your level of experience, we have a role for you!
