Volunteer Opportunities From: Volunteer Center

There is a saying that everything is marketing. This is true at Science Central. Everything we do is aimed at being the best educational facility that we can. Marketing has a large role in getting our message out there to the public. As a marketing volunteer you will be working in graphic design, updating our website (WordPress), working on social media, photo editing, and so much more. Come help us spread the joy of science to our public.

It takes a lot to keep Science Central running. We have a history of reaching out to groups in our community for aid. We have many projects, both inside and outside of the building, that large groups can help with. These could be painting, cleaning, building projects, stuffing envelops, or conducting tabletop activities with the visitors. If your group is looking for a fun bonding activity, consider helping out at Science Central. Some supplies (shovels, gloves, scrub brushes, etc.) will need to be provided by your group. Other than exceeding gratefulness, no compensation is made for the use of personal gas, supplies, etc. If your group is looking for a fun bonding activity, consider helping out at Science Central.

At Science Central we have a hands on approach to teaching science. We also have a hands on approach to our exhibits. We have built many of the exhibits on our floor. We also service them ourselves. As a volunteer you can assist the Science Central facilities department in all aspects of daily operation. Projects will vary depending on the area of greatest need. We need volunteer who know the ins and outs of cabinetry, electricity, engineering, gardening and more. If you have a skill to lend, we could use your help.

Education is the largest department at Science Central and is at the heart of everything we do. As an educational volunteer you have a few paths that you can take as you gain experience and have fun. You can learn to care for our various animals, teach visitors about fossils, participate in demos, and so much more. Have fun, teach others, and learn at the same time.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to run a museum? Science Central has a constant need for administrative help.  While most of the public is aware of our museum and its exhibits, that is only one way in which we further the science education of the public. 

We have outreach programs that go out to local schools. We have summer camps that teach various scientific principles and skills. And we have virtual learning that is done world wide. We would never be able to accomplish these goals with the Administrative office.

Our volunteers assist Science Central’s administrative office in all aspects of daily operation. Projects will vary by department. Tasks could include data entry, marketing, envelope stuffing, filing, placing phone calls and answering emails.
