Evening Event Habitat Interpreters

A white wave shape.

We do not have openings for additional evening event habitat interpreters at this time.

The Aquarium hosts a variety of evening events, including fundraisers, weddings and corporate gatherings. Evening event habitat interpreters answer questions and facilitate conversations to help guests better understand the marine environment.

Evening event habitat interpreters primarily serve at our Life on the Edge touch pools, giant Pacific octopus habitat and Closer Look table. Depending on the event and training level of the volunteer, people in this role may serve at other habitats such as the Underwater Dome, Birds & Shores and Marine Mammals. Additionally, evening event habitat interpreters may support the operation of the event, including greeting guests, providing tours and other tasks.

Evening event habitat interpreters work with one to 10 other volunteers and are led by an Aquarium staff member, who shares the important work of actively engaging our guests. The minimum time commitment required for evening event habitat interpreters is two shifts a month for a minimum of six continuous months. Shift start times vary by event, but typically begin between 5pm and 8pm and may be two to five hours long.
