Volunteer Opportunities for the 2012 Sea Lion Bowl
Overview:
Calling all ocean enthusiasts! Motivated northern California high school students need your support to achieve ocean literacy. The Sea Lion Bowl, a regional competition for the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, will be hosting about 100 high school students and their coaches in an all day competition at San Francisco State University on Saturday, March 3, 2012.
