Volunteers

A Rewarding Experience


The Discovery Center Is 
Operated 100% By 
Our Dedicated Volunteers

The Volunteer Program is designed to be a "cooperative program" where one hand washes the other so to speak.  Our volunteers earn FREE PROGRAMMING in exchange for their volunteering.

Volunteers are doing what they enjoy, usually with their children, while volunteering
