Arctic Journey Interpreters bring the Arctic to life! 

As an interpreter, you will help lead guests in hands-on explorations at our programming tables and spend time interacting with them in the exhibit.

Your interest or knowledge in Arctic Sciences (the cryosphere, permafrost, the animals, the plants, Indigenous knowledge), along with an outgoing personality and strong communication skills will prompt guests to share their experiences and make connections to the North. All applicants must be 15 years of age or older with grade 9 science. Volunteer staff are requested to commit to one, 3-5 hour shift per week over a period of three months, or the equivalent of 40 hours.
