Help us test drive new activities for the American History Sleepovers this summer.
We need volunteers from 6 pm to 11:00 pm on Thursday, April 23
Volunteer Tasks include: Arrive at 6 pm for orientation, then go set up activity tables, chairs, and supplies around the various halls in the museum. The big "event" at the sleepover is exploration of many museum halls, with arts and crafts activities, demonstrations, and games. You will be assigned to one of these activities with a volunteer partner (given a script and detailed instructions at the Orientation) to lead throughout the night. Around 10:30 pm we clean-up/load-out all the activities, check in with staff, help evaluate how it went, and then you can go home and sleep in the comfort of your own bed.
