Help create a warm welcome for guests of the observatory! Greeters and retail attendants are the friendly faces that assist with our "Ground Control" operations during events. Roles include welcoming guests at the Kiosk, setting expectations at our Green Gate Greeter station, and helping out in our retail store-selling hot chocolate, red flashlights, and more.
There are several positions that keep our events running smoothly, and we’ll help you find the one that fits best. No astronomy knowledge required-you’ll learn plenty along the way! Volunteering includes free admission to the event.
