If you love to interact with children of all ages and to inspire them through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) initiatives -- you should consider becoming a member of the Discovery Station Volunteer Team! Volunteers help in every area of the museum! We have open volunteer positions for exhibit docents, admission office clerks, gift shop salespersons, creative development members to work on marketing and exhibit creation, program leaders, designing and assembling lesson plans for visiting schools, and more!
