The New England Aquarium: Exploration Station Volunteer

Exploration Station Educators are ambassadors, representing the New England Aquarium by engaging visitors of all ages and backgrounds in activities focused on our youngest audiences through both facilitated and unfacilitated activities as well as one-on-one conversations with visitors using a variety of biofacts (animal artifacts). Don't know a lot about the Aquarium or how to talk to visitors? Don't worry! We provide training and mentorship to prepare volunteers with all the fun facts, information, and teaching tips needed to become a highly engaging Exploration Station volunteer.
