Volunteering Volunteers are essential to the sustainability of Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust activities. Volunteers make our research work possible, contribute to key education projects and help run our Visitor Centre on Tobermory's Main Street. At HWDT we value the skills and time given by volunteers and understand that their enthusiasm and dedication contributes greatly to what we achieve. Volunteers come from all walks of life, each bringing an invaluable range of skills, knowledge and experience which greatly benefits the Trust. We have hosted volunteers from many countries and welcome volunteers of different ages. We also benefit greatly from the help of volunteers from our local community who have contributed many hours and expertise over the years. To volunteer you don’t have to be a marine or cetacean expert, our projects include thorough training. However, some of our projects do require specific skills, so please read the relevant project information carefully before applying and be realistic about your suitability. What volunteers learn and gain is as varied as their backgrounds. For example, onboard Silurian, volunteers get full training in scientific research techniques, and benefit greatly from having marine science and sailing experts constantly on hand. Volunteers have the opportunity to see an amazing variety of wildlife in its natural habitat, visit remote and beautiful places, and get to know and work closely with a small team of like-minded people. Join us abroad in 2016! Our 2016 land-based traineeship provides a fantastic opportunity for passionate, outgoing individuals to join our team based in the colourful and picturesque harbour town of Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull; where we have our office, Visitor Centre and the mooring for our research vessel Silurian. We have opportunities for both those interested in cetacean research and education. How to apply Surveys scheduled: 1st-7th & 26th July-1st August 2016. Berths cost £950pp. For more information, contact Morven at [email protected].
