Educating the Community
Education programs are the heart of WAVE’s mission to inspire and foster environmental stewards. We offer animal ambassador visits around the tri-state, after-school learning programs, spring and summer camps, preschool and toddler reading sessions, professional development, and more!
Saving the Planet
Conservation is more than an action, it’s saving lives. WAVE makes a difference through river clean-ups, supporting ocean conservation, teaching about endangered species, and committing to sustainability in all we do. We partner with conservation non-profits locally, nationally, and globally to protect our planet!
Leading by Example
Volunteering with WAVE Foundation at Newport Aquarium offers many benefits and opportunities for fun. There are different ways to volunteer that fit your skillset and passions. Internships are also available throughout the year to help build resumes and prepare students for careers in environmental education and more!
Having Fun Along the Way
WAVE’s signature events encourage folks to take action and have fun while they’re at it. Proceeds from events go to supporting our fin-credible programs and increasing the accessibility and reach of conservation education. Get involved by attending Nauti Nite, Putt for Penguins, Conservation Conversations, and River Sweep!
