With up to 700 students coming through our doors in a day for field trips, we are looking for enthusiastic and dependable people to help with welcoming, orientating, wayfinding, and lunch transitions for students, teachers, and chaperones during these visits. You will help staff give groups a positive experience during their time at Discovery World.

Our groups enter Discovery World through the Pavilion space, located on the technology side of our building, right off the Power On exhibit. The Pavilion has large, floor to ceiling windows on two sides, with additional artificial lighting on the ceiling. Noise levels will vary based on the number of people in the space.

Every day will be different based on the number of groups visiting as well as the number of people in each group. The Volunteer Supervisor will send out an email highlighting the busiest upcoming days for groups, so that volunteers know which day their help is most needed.
