Volunteer Position

Opportunity Title Weekend Educators and Exhibit Guides

Theme
Education: Access & Equity

Description
The Science Factory Children's Museum is looking for volunteers to share the fun and excitement of hands-on science with children and families. Volunteer educators work whenever the museum is open: on weekends, on no-school days, and during field trips. No special scientific knowledge is needed! We will train you on the basics of interacting with visitors and give you all of the information you need to be a kid-science expert. Your time commitment is flexible, and can be as little as 6 hours per month. Volunteers must attend a 90-minute orientation session prior to working with visitors.
