2009 session dates will be announced soon.

A key volunteer program for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation is Volunteers as Chesapeake Stewards (VoiCeS), an adult education/CBF volunteer training program designed to create a deeper understanding of the Chesapeake Bay and the efforts to restore it. Begun in 2004 on the Eastern Shore, the program is now offered on both the Western and Eastern Shores of Maryland and in Southern Virginia. It has filled to capacity each successive year.

There is a nominal materials fee, but no registration fee to enroll in the VoiCeS training. Participants are instead asked to commit to attending the series of classes and completing 40 hours of volunteer work. The VoiCeS course is offered each year during the winter months (January - March.)

For more information about this program, please download the VoiCeS brochure (pdf).
