Position Specific Description

Manatee Lagoon – An FPL Eco-Discovery Center relies on Manatee Masters, acting as docents or tour guides, to assist with guest relations and environmental education programming.  Manatee Masters may work individually or as a team greeting visitors as they enter and tour the center. The center is open six days a week (select Mondays during Manatee season as well) and along with daily tours, there are a variety of other offerings, such as story times and school group visit programs, that our Manatee Masters lead. 
 
Each Manatee Master will receive a comprehensive training about manatees, Lake Worth Lagoon and the center’s extensive exhibit offerings.
Some other specific responsibilities include:

• Crowd control assistance and assurance that safety guidelines are followed.
• Performance of daily operations of the center, presenting live or recorded school and public programs in person and virtually, and special projects, such as fish and invertebrate collections, fish tank maintenance, creating flyers and calendars, and organizing supplies.  
• Assisting with the creation of materials and plans to support educational offerings.
• Representation of the center at events throughout the area, such as Palm Beach County’s LagoonFest and Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s TurtleFest. Manatee Masters may staff booths, or make presentations in the community, sharing information about the center and manatees, and answering questions.

 
Manatee Masters should be comfortable interacting with the public, teaching or presenting educational content in-person and virtually and possess strong communication skills.  Manatee Lagoon expects its employees to be flexible, proactive, enthusiastic and friendly. Manatee Lagoon shirts will be provided and a neat and professional appearance must be maintained.
