Time To Give?

Wanted: Smiling Volunteers Able to Leap Cardboard Blocks in a Single Bound!

OK, there is really no block jumping required, but we may need you to help with some of the following activities.

Interact with Children: Show the children how to properly and safely use the exhibits.  Suggest areas or activities the children might enjoy trying.

Supervise and Maintain Exhibits: This means you will walk around from exhibit to exhibit, restocking supplies and making sure the museum is tidy.

Prepare Materials and Supplies for Special Events: You might be asked to cut things out, assemble packets, blow up balloons, stick on labels or any number of other fun jobs to help us prepare for special events like birthday parties, field trips, workshops, etc.

Other possibilities: Make paper mache, inventory supplies, refill glue bottles, make art project examples, feed the frog, paint faces, and any number of other wonderful surprises!

Skills To Share?

If you can't come in person to help out, perhaps you have skills to share instead.  We are always in need of volunteers to construct or repair exhibits, mend costumes, and any number of equally essential jobs in the life of the museum.
