Counselors in Training
CITs get to experience science and nature with kids through educational crafts and fun activities. The CIT program is a perfect opportunity to increase your skills working with children, earn community hours and explore the Mission Creek Campus and Sea Center.
Applications have closed for CITs in 2023. The Sea Center is always accepting teen volunteers; visit the Sea Center volunteer opportunity page for more details. Check back with us in early 2024 for a chance to apply to CITs next year.
