Volunteering - Juniors
Junior Volunteers
Tweens and teens age 12 to 17 work alongside Museum staff throughout the summer, sharing programs and exhibits with
visitors and public program participants. A variety of positions are available, including discovery cart attendant, discovery
room assistant, camp teacher's assistant, puppeteers, and more. It's easy to make new friends who love the Museum just
like you do. This is also a great opportunity to learn about the "behind the scenes" work necessary to present programs
and events. All junior volunteers are trained and supervised.
Junior Volunteer Program - How to Apply
The Junior Volunteer Program runs on an annual calendar which begins in March each year, when 12 to 17 year-olds apply to volunteer for the coming summer. The program for 2009 is CLOSED, and applications are no longer being accepted.
