Junior Volunteer Program Summer 2023

The 2023 Junior Volunteer program will be by invitation only, and will only include returning JVs and youth from our community partner organizations. We hope to return to an open application process for Summer 2024.  If you are a returning JV or work with our partners, make sure to check your email January 13 for your invitation.

If there are spaces still available on February 17, there will be a 72-hour open application period when all youth 14-17 are welcome to apply. This open registration will run from Friday, February 17 at 5:00pm to Monday, February 20 at 5:00pm and applications will be available on this page at that time.

Teens ages 14 to 17 serve 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
  • Exhibit docent
• Teens that are selected to serve as Junior Volunteers during the summer are eligible to serve during the school year.
