Apply as a Volunteer with MCP

We welcome all volunteers to our project! These are answers to questions often asked by fellow Pinoys:

We only work in southern Negros Oriental. There are no activities in Manila or elsewhere, and it is not possible to join us only at weekends.

Joining our beach clean-up efforts is free, and we warmly welcome you to! It happens every day, except Sunday.

Joining as a scientific scuba diving volunteer is not free. You can see all volunteer fees here. The minimum stay for non-divers is six weeks.

Interns serve a tremendously important role in our organisation, and it's possible to intern in different roles. Interning requires considerable skills, time and commitment. Please understand that although internships are more affordable than regular volunteering, they are something completely different, and most definitely not volunteering on the cheap. To intern means hard work in a dynamic organisation.

Kindly note that research interns are expected to be working on a PhD, or to have completed an MSc or BSc programme in marine biology or a related field. You must be able to commit to four months (minimum) on set start dates, to be discussed upon application, and we expect you to bring your own laptop for work and data entry.
