Junior Volunteer Summer 2021 Season Cancelled

Please check back in early 2022 for Summer 2022 information.

Pre-teens and teens ages 12 to 17 work alongside Museum staff throughout the summer, sharing programs and exhibits with visitors. This is a great opportunity to serve your community while making friends who also love the Museum!

• All Junior Volunteers are trained and supervised. However, all Junior Volunteers must be able to work independently because supervisors cannot be present at all times.
• A variety of positions are available, including
  • Discovery Cart attendant
  • Discovery Zone assistant
  • Camp teacher’s assistant
  • Exhibit docent
  • Collections assistant
• The JV Program runs on an annual calendar beginning in January when applicants may apply for the coming summer.
