MUSEUM GUIDE Interact with visitors. Spark curiosity, explain exhibits, answer questions, assist with daily cleaning and project preparation. We ask for a two hours per week average commitment. Must love children! If you have kids of your own, you are welcome to bring them in while you volunteer.

BIRTHDAY HOST Help children celebrate their birthdays at the Museum. Set-up and decorate party room, greet and orient party guests, facilitate positive play and interactions, lead theme-based activities, clean up after party. Birthday hosts would work as needed. Birthday parties are generally during our regular hours of operation.

HELPING HAND Help maintain our exhibits: mend costumes, touch-up paint, tighten screws, replace parts, etc. This work would mostly be done after hours. Some work would be done onsite and some could be done at home.

SPECIAL EVENTS Want to get involved but can’t commit to a regular time? Ask for a special events opportunity list.

COMMITTEES If you have experience in fundraising, development or exhibit design inquire about openings on our committees.
