Volunteer With Us
Volunteering isn’t about filling roles, it’s about finding your place.
You don’t need a marine science background.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to give more than you’re able to.
If you care about the ocean, people, and fairness, you already belong here.
What Volunteering With MBB Looks Like
We understand that everyone comes with different capacities, schedules, and life responsibilities.
That’s why our volunteering is:
-
Flexible
-
Remote-friendly
-
Supportive
-
Community-led
-
Designed around people, not pressure
You can contribute in ways that suit your energy, skills, and availability.
Some volunteers support us weekly.
Some help occasionally.
Some join for a single project.
All are equally valued.
Ways You Can Get Involved
You might support MBB through:
- 🌊 Education & Outreach
Helping with workshops, webinars, or youth engagement sessions.
- 🎨 Creative & Storytelling
Supporting social media, design, writing, photography, video, or campaign storytelling.
- 💻 Digital & Behind-the-Scenes Support
Helping with research, admin, website updates, or programme coordination.
- 🤝 Community Support
Supporting youth voices, helping facilitate discussions, or contributing lived experience perspectives.
You don’t need to fit into one box, many volunteers move between roles as their interests grow.
What We Offer in Return
We believe volunteering should be a two-way relationship.
As part of MBB, you’ll receive:
-
A welcoming, inclusive community
-
Supportive onboarding and guidance
-
Opportunities to learn and grow
-
Space to explore interests and confidence
-
Recognition of your time and contribution
-
A place where lived experience is respected
We don’t believe in unpaid labour culture.
We believe in learning, care, and shared purpose.
A Space for You
MBB is especially committed to creating space for:
-
Young people
-
Island communities
-
Disabled and neurodivergent volunteers
-
Those exploring non-traditional career paths
-
People who’ve felt they “didn’t fit” in environmental spaces before
You don’t have to change who you are to be here.
We’ll meet you where you are.
