ORGANIZATION: Natural History Museum of Utah
Please visit the new page to apply.
The Natural History Museum of Utah is home to 10 permanent exhibitions that engage and educate guests about the natural history of Utah and humans’ place within it. We need Gallery Interpreters to interact with guests as they journey through Utah’s past and discover the many rare artifacts housed within NHMU. As a Gallery Interpreter you can share your passion for science and history with those eager to learn. You will get specialized training to learn the details of NHMU’s collections and research programs, and gain experience teaching and interacting with guests of all ages.
Gallery Interpreter volunteers work in one of our permanent exhibits to create an engaging atmosphere for guest interaction and questions using conversation, demonstrations and hands-on activities. Volunteers may choose to focus on our Paleontology, Anthropology, or Biology exhibits. Volunteers will rove exhibits independently, helping guests discover their own interests and supporting them in exploring those curiosities.
