Guest Engagement

Are you a self-described "people person"? Do you love aquatic animals? Are you interested in learning new things? If so, this is for you!

Join us as we spark compassion, curiosity and conservation for the aquatic animal world.

Shedd Aquarium is seeking volunteers to join our Guest Engagement team as Exhibit Interpreters. These individuals engage guests throughout our exhibits by using techniques such as hands-on activities, questioning, descriptive language and props.

Not an animal expert? That's okay! We provide all the training you need.

We have shifts available 7 days a week, both morning and afternoon. A commitment of one year is preferred.

Ready to dive in? Visit www.sheddaquarium.org/volunteering to learn more and fill out the application.

We hope to "sea" you soon!
