Volunteering

Inspired by the First Floridian several speakers and community leaders formed a committee to create a local institute to support scholarly study of the Aucilla Basin.  The Aucilla Research Institute (ARI) provides logistical and research support for visiting scientists.  ARI founders expect the Institute’s plans to establish the Institute, with a museum and educational facility on a site in Monticello, leading an economic resurgence of the area. Many of our projects rely on volunteers to help researchers on a daily basis.  If you are interested in getting involved or know a school that would like to participate, please go to our Voluntter page to LEARN MORE about how you can help!
