Teen Interns Get Super Powers

That's right! Working at the NEAQ for the summer as a teen intern is a trial by fire. By the end of it, these teens have a solid knowledge of marine animals and powerful interpersonal skills.

Not only that, but these Boston and Cambridge students are getting recognition in the local press, and they definitely deserve it. The Aquarium relies on its dedicated army of volunteers to maintain the quality of visitor education and exhibit maintenance.

These interns are the vanguard for fielding visitor questions and conveying the Aquarium's conservation message to kids and parents alike. And they do a fantastic job!
