Ways to Get Involved
Administrative
Work "behind the scenes" in Discovery Center’s
administrative offices, in any area from marketing to human resources.
When: Weekdays from 9am to 5pm.
Discovery Guide
Make a
difference in the creative play experience by encouraging
children to explore exhibits and interacting with them,
modeling appropriate use of the exhibits, playing, and
having fun! Help staff in set up, clean up, organization,
and cleaning of play areas. Inform and encourage visitors to
attend scheduled programs such as story time and special
workshops. A Play Guide is outgoing, patient, resourceful,
friendly and reliable.
When: Daily, during museum hours
Studio Assistant
Have an
interest in the arts? Provide positive feedback and encouragement as children
experiment creatively with a wide variety of art media. Support studio staff by
prepping materials and helping with basic cleanup. Studio Assistants are
outgoing, patient, resourceful, friendly and reliable.
When: Daily, during museum hours
Discovery Event Volunteers
Individuals are needed to help with one-day events or event
series and activities, such as members-only events, a
variety of community fairs and First Free Fridays. Ask to be
notified of event dates and opportunities! This is the
perfect opportunity for those unable to commit to regular
volunteering schedules who still want to be involved and
those who thrive on variety as no two events are ever the
same. Event volunteers are outgoing, patient, resourceful,
friendly and reliable.
Docent
Work with our Education staff to provide hands-on programs
for school children.
When: Monday thru Friday 9:00 – 12:00 as needed
