We are looking for volunteers that are interested in volunteering at the Children's Science Center Lab during Field Trips during the week (Monday-Friday). The Lab is located at the Fair Oaks Mall. Volunteers work directly with children and staff, creating great experiences for them. If this describes you, there are a few requirements you must meet:
1. You must be at least 18 years old.
2. You will be required to undergo a background check, at our expense.
3. You must commit to volunteering with the Children’s Science Center for 10 hours in your first year (4 field trips).
If you are not willing or able to meet these requirements, we would still love to have you volunteer in other roles at the Science Center. You can assist in behind-the-scenes preparation and stocking, community events like Family Science Nights, and some special events. If you wish to volunteer in these support roles and not as a field trip volunteer, you do not need to attend an in-person orientation. Instead, you can sign up immediately for any opportunity on the volunteer portal, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements as listed in the opportunity description.
If you are willing and able to meet the Field Trip Volunteering requirements and are interested in participating in an orientation, please indicate interest and our volunteer coordinator will be able to get you registered on our volunteer platform, Galaxy Digital.
We will be holding orientations 2 times monthly, and upcoming orientation dates will be posted here as they are scheduled.
Feel free, also, to email the volunteer team at volunteer@childsci.org with questions and for more information.
