Since our opening in 1981, we have educated more than 5 million students. The Aquarium's hands-on youth education programs, ranging from elementary school outreach to college internships, engage students in science, bolster their academic performance, and help them develop higher education and career goals.
Together, all of these special-access and educational opportunities help to make the Aquarium available to everyone in our community. We feel that, through these opportunities, we make our community a better place to live and work. Your contribution to the National Aquarium ensures our education programs' continued success.
The National Aquarium is a 501(c) nonprofit organization. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, members, and volunteers, we provide transforming experiences that inspire people to enjoy, respect, and protect our aquatic world.
