Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of the museum.

We offer volunteer opportunities for teens, adults, and groups. Volunteers welcome guests, play alongside children, support programs, and help create joyful, meaningful experiences throughout the museum. Whether you love working directly with kids or supporting behind the scenes, there’s a place for you here. We welcome volunteers of all abilities, interests, and schedules. All volunteer candidates are subject to criminal background checks.
