Looking for a fun way to earn volunteer hours for your class or organization?
Volunteers & Interns are needed to work together with our staff as a team assisting with educational programs, projects and events for a wide audience of visitors, such as: schools, daycares, scouts, seniors and homeschool groups and more; to assist staff in maintaining and caring for our natural history specimens and museum spaces; and to enjoy the challenge of continually growing in your personal knowledge of natural history, art, education and the skills of interpretation.
Our hours are Tuesday - Saturday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Some days we have opportunities to assist with school groups that arrive at 9 a.m. Sundays we are open from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Education/Tour guides need to commit to a training session and 12 volunteer hours.
We also have one-time special event opportunities.
This is a great opportunity for education majors, science majors, Close Scholars and anyone who enjoys learning and wants to make a difference in their community.
