Please visit the new page to apply.
Looking for a fun thing to do over the summer? Join the Shedd Aquarium family as a Guest Engagement volunteer!
We're looking for people that are excited to share animal stories with guests at exhibits, touch pools, and activity stations. These informal conversations have a huge impact on our guests, and you can be part of it.
Best of all, you get to see our animals every time you're here, and enjoy perks like free admission, discounts, and more!
Not an animal expert? That's okay! We provide all the training you need. Shifts are available 7 days a week, morning or afternoon.
Get started by filling out the application at www.sheddaquarium.org/volunteering.
We hope to "sea" you soon!
