Oregon Coast Aquarium seeks summer volunteers
NEWPORT — Each year,
more than 400,000 visitors to
Newport make the Oregon
Coast Aquarium part of their
travel itinerary. Because the
facility is so firmly rooted in
Newport’s tourism scene, this
summer the aquarium is seek-
ing concierge volunteers to
connect visitors to attractions
both inside and outside its
grounds.
Concierge volunteers (CVs)
welcome guests warmly and
build rapport by offering
“insider tips” and knowledge
about the aquarium and its
exhibits. Additionally, CVs
interact with departing visitors
by answering questions, pro-
viding information about travel
needs such as lodging and eat-
ing accommodations, and sug-
gesting other local attractions
and tourist activities to enjoy.
As the busy summer season
gets underway, CVs “will play
an integral role in ensuring that
guests get the most out of their
visit to the area,” said Beth
Hawkyard, volunteer services
manager for the aquarium.
New CVs will receive a
crash-course training which
includes customer service,
aquarium facility orientation,
overview of special tours, edu-
cation programming, commu-
nity events and activities,
organization partners/affilia-
tions and local accommoda-
tions.
This position is ideal for vol-
unteers who wish to enhance
visitors’ experience both at the
aquarium and in Lincoln
County generally by sharing
their enthusiasm and knowl-
edge of the area.
The seasonal position lasts
throughout the summer until
Labor Day weekend, and con-
sists of at least one weekly shift
between to 4 hours long.
Those interested in becom-
ing a concierge volunteer can
contact Volunteer Services at
541-867-3474 ext. 5316 or reg-
ister online at aquarium.org/
support/volunteer/.
The Oregon Coast Aquarium
is dedicated to the highest qual-
ity aquatic and marine science
programs for recreation and
education so that the public bet-
ter understands, cherishes and
conserves the world’s natural
marine and coastal resources.
