    Kid-friendly volunteers needed at Virginia Discovery Museum

    Looking for alternative ways to give back to your community these holidays? Do you enjoy helping children and their families learn together in a fun, engaging environment? Then you may be the perfect fit to be a Gallery Volunteer!

    The Virginia Discovery Museum is looking for helpers to maintain the galleries, help prep and run fun programs, assist with birthday parties, and keep the museum running each day. This position is full of opportunities to socialize with families from all over the Charlottesville community and beyond. Volunteer regularly and you’ll recognize our members and get to know the best way to have fun and learn with our exhibits. Ages 14 and older.

    A great way to earn service hours for honors societies and key clubs! Volunteers also receive 1 free admission for every 5 hours of service.

    Museum hours are Monday through Saturday 9:30am-5pm, and open for reserved parties on Sunday. Shifts are 2 hours minimum. All volunteers are required to be vaccinated against Covid.
