Aquarium Maybe

It has been since December 2023 that I quit being an animal handler at the natural history museum. I probably would've quit anyway due to my difficult pregancy, but the work culture became too toxic with the bossy older volunteers and a new supervisor. Since then, I've been wanting to get back into volunteering with animals. With motherhood, work, and my doctorate, I also don't want it to take up too much time away from home. I completed orientation at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium to be an education volunteer. Now I'm not sure if the required 8 hours a month is feasible. I'm looking for an opportunity where I only have to volunteer once every few months. I've been looking at Thanksgiving Point, the Ogden Nature Center, and USU Botanical Center.
