Guest Engagement

Do you enjoy interacting with a diverse group of people? Are you passionate about the natural world? Are you ready to learn, and teach, new things? We are looking for you!

We are looking for Guest Engagement volunteers to help with Exhibit Interpretation. Engage guests throughout our exhibits by using techniques such as hands-on activities, questioning, descriptive language and props. Responsibilities include promoting self-discovery, sparking compassion, curiosity and conservation for the aquatic animal world, engaging guests with relevant animal information and providing great customer service for audiences of various backgrounds. We'll teach you everything you need to know, and more!

Volunteers over the age of 18, and those with weekday availability, are most needed.

Are you ready to join us? Learn More and Apply at https://www.sheddaquarium.org/About-Us/Jobs-Internships-and-Volunteering/Volunteer-Listings/Guest-Engagement-Volunteers/.
