Teen Volunteers

For current high school students
Teen volunteers bring the Museum to life for visitors of all ages.
Teens must commit to volunteer at least 10 days throughout the summer to successfully complete the program and qualify to apply for future year-round volunteering.
Where you'll work
Teen volunteers split their time between the Crown Family PlayLab and interpretive carts in Stanley Field Hall.
In the PlayLab, volunteers are trained to interact with young learners in a hands-on educational setting, facilitate drop-in programming, and help keep the space running smoothly. With interpretive carts, teens engage visitors and handle and share artifacts and specimens.
Application process
Applications for the 2022 teen volunteer program are closed.
For additional information about teen volunteering, email teens@fieldmuseum.org.
