New Volunteer Opportunties

The Sciencenter is welcoming new volunteers. Opportunities include:

As part of the new Connect to the Ocean exhibition, this salt-water touch tank gives visitors a chance to touch and observe, close up, a variety of warm-water marine invertebrates.
• Front desk greeters - Welcome and orient visitors to the museum. Assist visitors with admissions, gift shop purchases and general inquiries.
• Museum docents - Welcome and introduce visitors to the Sciencenter. Answer visitor questions about exhibits and guide exploration in the museum's Discovery Space.
