If you have an upbeat and positive attitude, strong oral communication skills and a passion for teaching and learning, we want you to become a Sciencenter volunteer! You will receive ongoing opportunities to grow and gain skills within the organization. Science content expertise is not required.

Before you are eligible to volunteer, you must:

  2. Complete an “Explore Session” (a 30-minute self-guided exploration of the museum). Regular admission fees are waived for Explore Sessions.
  3. Have a successful 20-30 minute interview. If your application is accepted, the Volunteer Programs Manager will contact you to schedule.
  4. Attend a New Volunteer Orientation/Training, held monthly.
