Volunteers Needed at the FAU Harbor Branch Ocean Discovery Visitors CenterVolunteers Needed at the FAU Harbor Branch Ocean Discovery Visitors Center Volunteers are needed to staff the Welcome Desk at the FAU Harbor Branch Ocean Discovery Visitors Center (ODVC). The ODVC is a destination where the community can come to learn about the research conducted by the institute’s marine scientists and engineers, and is visited by approximately 10,000 guests each year. The ODVC is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 4pm. The Welcome Desk attendant has a very important job; as the first person to receive ODVC guests, they are responsible for making a great first impression and ensuring proper procedures are followed. The attendant’s duties include greeting and providing information to visitors as they arrive, keeping a watchful eye on the ODVC while staff members are busy, answering the telephone, responding to inquiries about our programs and assisting with various organizational tasks as needed. The welcome desk attendant is required to fulfil at least one four-hour shift each week and must be able to remain seated at the station for the entire shift. The number of visitors that come to the center each day is highly variable, while some days are very busy, others are quiet. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a book/etc. and also have access to wifi/a computer with internet to use during slow periods, but must be prepared to greet visitors as they arrive. We are currently seeking volunteers to cover the following shifts: Wednesday 10 am - 1 pm Wednesday 1 pm - 4 pm Saturday 10 am - 1 pm Saturday 1 pm - 4 pm
