VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Be A Volunteer
Volunteers help us fulfill the Museum’s mission of engaging our diverse community to provide outstanding educational experiences that bring science and history to life! Their enthusiasm and curiosity strengthen everything we do, and we’re excited to welcome new volunteers into our community.
We welcome general volunteers from individuals ages 15 and up, with flexible roles assisting public programs, special events, and guest services.
Student and school groups volunteers play an especially meaningful role in our work. From gaining hands‑on experience in a museum setting to building communication and leadership skills, students contribute fresh energy and curiosity that enrich our Museum's experience.
Our Museum Ambassadors program, open to volunteers ages 16 and older, offers ongoing opportunities to support guest engagement, educational activities, and the overall museum experience.
Whether you’re hoping to make an impact in a single day or eager to become part of a long‑term volunteer team, we warmly welcome every level of involvement and the unique energy each volunteer brings.
Students and School Groups
Students and school groups can provide helping hands for our educational programs like Dinos Rock, Space Day and Chemistry Week, unique special events in the Omni Theater and engaging hands-on activities in our Innovation Studios and exhibit galleries throughout the year. Inspire wonder by sharing your enthusiasm for learning!
