Greater Farallones Association launched the Marine Science Education Fellowship in 2022, supporting college students or early-career professionals from all backgrounds.
Our Marine Science Education Fellows are given the opportunity to build teaching skills and comfort working with students, learn marine science curriculum, and gain access to marine sanctuary resources. GFA is committed to providing opportunities to the next generation of marine scientists and educators, and is dedicated to raising awareness and stewardship of the vital ocean resources right off the San Francisco coast.
Each fellow gains experience providing instructional and administrative program support for the LiMPETS program, Oceans After School program, and/or the Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank Visitor Center Field Trip program. The fellows help increase GFA’s capacity to deliver ocean exploration educational programs to low-income youth. Fellows learn the curricula; gain experience teaching marine science; and are given the opportunity to connect with staff across GFA and Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries, and with project partners. All aimed at skill development and career advancement.
Our paid fellowship program has been made possible through grant support from JW & HM Goodman Family Foundation.
