Becoming an employee of the Indiana Welcome Center is the perfect opportunity for an outgoing, energetic individual who loves meeting and interacting with people from all over the world… that’s right, all over the GLOBE!

Our Welcome Center Associates are the friendly faces that provide top-notch service to both visitors and residents along the South Shore. From sharing insider tips on the area’s many restaurants and attractions, to helping guests find the perfect souvenir in our gift shop stocked with custom Indiana products, to hopping aboard the Tour Mobile to represent the South Shore at festivals, concerts, and events — our team makes every interaction memorable.

And if that wasn’t exciting enough, this seasonal/temporary position also brings you to the heart of the holiday magic! Each winter, the Indiana Welcome Center is home to the world-famous “A Christmas Story” Comes Home Exhibit, featuring six animated window displays from the classic holiday movie. Associates will help welcome thousands of visitors eager to relive the nostalgia, take photos with the iconic leg lamp, and participate in themed activities such as  write-a-letter-to-Santa, crafts, field trips and more. It’s the ultimate way to spread holiday cheer while having fun at work!

If you’re looking for a job where you get paid to create joy, meet new people, and be part of the South Shore’s most beloved traditions — look no further.
