Museum Volunteer

Do you have a love for science, history, or overall learning?

If so, we welcome you to join our volunteer team!

As a volunteer, you'll make an impact by helping to share our love of science and education with everyone. From running activities to helping with events and exhibits, we have a robust volunteer program with space for many helping hands.

Volunteer Opportunities

Nature Zone Volunteers

Based in our dedicated volunteer area, Nature Zone volunteers inspire curiosity with educational table activities. Interactive in nature, these activities encourage guests to touch, ponder, experiment, and explore, learning about science along the way.

Nature Zone shifts are available on weekends and select holidays.

Gallery Guides

Stationed among the exhibits, Gallery Guides offer mini tours and hands on activities related to a specific museum area. Use your own background information or let us train you in something new!

Gallery Guide shifts are available on weekdays and weekends.

Departmental Docents

Departmental Docents are those with specific experience with museum operation, exhibit management, or specific fields of science who are given the opportunity to help our Exhibits and Collections teams.

Departmental Docent shifts are available on weekdays.

Traveling Exhibit Guides

Traveling exhibit guides provide specialized information (training provided), demonstrations, and the personal connection that really helps to bring these temporary exhibits to life.

Gallery Guide shifts are available on weekdays and weekends.

Special Events Volunteers

Don’t have a lot of time? Consider being a Special Events Volunteer and bring science to life during our holiday and special programs. This is a great way to explore new science topics, fulfill community service requirements, and enjoy the satisfaction of sharing and giving back
