Join the Georgia Aquarium Family

Volunteers and interns make waves in the community and do an ocean of good!

Volunteers make waves in our community, bringing their passion to Georgia Aquarium and helping us do an ocean of good.

As a nonprofit organization, Georgia Aquarium relies on the dedication of extraordinary volunteers and interns who generously share their time and talents in support of our mission to inspire awareness and preservation of our ocean and aquatic animals worldwide. Every person who joins us helps inspire wonder in our guests and contributes to meaningful conservation efforts.

Our volunteer programs connect your unique skills, interests, and strengths with opportunities across more than 30 departments. We welcome enthusiastic individuals who care deeply about aquatic life, enjoy learning, and are ready to leave their impact by supporting a dynamic, fast‑paced environment.

While each program offers different levels of commitment, opportunities, and benefits, all play an essential role in creating exceptional experiences for the millions of guests we serve each year.
