A
volunteer project at the Exploratorium
is a marvelous opportunity to participate
behind the scenes in this hands-on museum
of science, art, and human perception.
In exchange for contributing your time
and sharing your talents, you can engage
your curiosity by learning new things,
interact with visitors and volunteers
from around the world, and most of all,
have fun!
The
dynamic community of Exploratorium volunteers
brings curiosity, enthusiasm, and dedication
to its volunteer work, providing the museum
with fresh perspectives and invaluable
assistance. Recent volunteers have included
welders, stockbrokers, architects, technical
writers, research scientists, artists,
teachers, and students. Everyone* is welcome
to submit
an application, including international
volunteers. |

Volunteer
projects vary throughout the year. There’s
always a need for all types of skills and
experiences, so you don’t need to
be a scientist or an expert to apply. The
program is flexible, matching available
opportunities
to your talent and availability. Volunteers
often move on to another project or area
of the museum after completing their initial
assignments.
Volunteers
help with a wide range of projects, from
exhibit maintenance to administrative
tasks, from educational programs to special
events. Most volunteer projects begin
with one-on-one training with a staff
supervisor and then develop into independent
work.
Whether
you’re an individual interested
in ongoing projects or a group wishing
to participate in a Done-in-a-Day
program, you can help provide vital
services and support to many departments
within the Exploratorium. The Exploratorium
could not operate without the contributions
of more than two hundred active volunteers
who contribute their time, ideas, and
energy. Their unique talents enable the
museum to offer its current level of services
to the community.
*Please
Note: You must be at least 15 years old
to volunteer at the Exploratorium. Follow
the links for more information about requirements,
the application
procedure, and the process
involved in shaping the volunteer experience.
