Volunteer

At Exploration Place, volunteers are an integral part of fulfilling our mission and performing a variety of jobs to keep the entire organization on the path to making science fun for everyone! Volunteers participate in activities that enhance your personal growth while serving a valued role to the museum and science education for our guests.

If you’re eager to volunteer, begin by completing an application for one of our Special Event Opportunities.
