Teenage Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers, both boys and girls, are needed during our Camp-In season from November – June.

What do volunteers do?

Assist guests attending overnight Camp-Ins by leading groups through the Museum’s exhibits, staff the admissions desk, assist with workshops and serve snacks and breakfast.

Who can do this?

Any boy or girl who is 13-17 years old. When you are 13, you can volunteer for the evening. When you are 14, you are eligible to stay overnight until 9:00 am the next morning.

We look for youth who are...

Friendly, outgoing, interested in science and enjoy working with children. What do the volunteers receive? If you stay overnight we guarantee a credit of 8 hours of service. If you stay for the evening, you will receive 4 hours of service. Most of our scout volunteers come back year after year because they enjoy the time and have met new friends.

What do I have to do?

Request an application packet from the Education Director, scarroll@thechildrensmuseumct.org. Once a completed application is received, the Education Director will review it and contact you to schedule an interview. We know school can keep you busy, so we can schedule an interview time that’s good for you.
