Fall Teen Volunteer Program

Volunteers in our fall teen volunteer program are focused on supporting our Operations program by enhancing the overall guest experience.  They serve in two different ways:

• Guest Experience Team – Fall volunteers engage guests in the museum with short presentations or activities at exhibits, assist with public programs, and other guest service roles.  Each volunteer completes 3 Saturdays (9 am to 3 pm) on the Guest Experience Team.
• Elective volunteer shifts – In addition to Saturday shifts, each volunteer completes 6 hours of elective shifts.  These shifts may include helping with Day Camps in Education, or guest experience roles at Galaxy Frights, Galaxy Lights, or other events.
