Volunteers For Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument

America's largest marine national monument is seeking volunteers to assist in closed-captioning videos for the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. In the Monument's continuing efforts to "bring the place to the people" this volunteer opportunity will serve a vital function in achieving this mission.

Volunteers should have excellent computer and typing skills, have interest in the Monument and marine ecosystems and environmental issues, be media savvy and be extremely detail oriented. Initially volunteers will input closed-captioning for 20-25 completed videos and then have continuing responsibilities for 2-4 additional video features on a monthly basis. Weekly time commitment is expected to be 2-4 hours.

This is an excellent chance to learn more about the various aspects and programs of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument and Hawaii's ocean environment.
