About this Opportunity
The Adler Planetarium is proud to host a team of volunteers whose goal is to share the sky with our guests. The Adler Planetarium’s telescope facilitation program is increasingly popular; indeed, guests come to Adler specifically seeking experiences involving telescopes. Come join our wonderful team and you, too, can learn how to bring the heavens alive with telescopes!
The Adler’s mission is to inspire exploration and understanding of our Universe. Our model of guest engagement follows four core values:
Empower: We empower guests to follow their own path of learning.
Welcome: We read our audience to make decisions on how best to facilitate their learning experience. The Adler is a place for everyone.
Collaborate: We respect our guests for who they are and what they know, and we build a collaborative learning environment.
Play: We take our science seriously, but not ourselves. We play with purpose and go out of our way to make guests feel special.
Daytime Telescope Facilitators provide authentic, engaging experiences for our guests, primarily through opportunities to view the Sun safely through a telescope when the weather permits - but also through fun indoor exploratory activities when the weather isn’t quite so cooperative.
