WOW! Children's Museum is seeking Science Docents!

Do you enjoy working with children? Are you curious about science? We are looking to build a staff of volunteers to assist kids with simple, hands-on activities in the Science Kitchen and to interpret the new Blowing in the Wind Exhibit.

No science expertise is necessary. Our science coordinator will teach you how to do the experiments and field your questions. We especially need volunteers during our busy times, typically 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday. This is a perfect opportunity for someone who lives near the museum and could stop by for a couple of hours at a time. For more information or to apply, please email us using the button above or leave a message for Heather or Nikki at 303-604-2424.

Help with fun art and science programming throughout the summer. Assist with drop-in science programming or art room programming. Hours vary.

WOW! is seeking volunteers to read aloud to children, especially toddlers, at the Museum. We are looking for volunteers Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to read stories aloud during our toddler hour.

WOW! is seeking a volunteer electrician. We need help to maintain and repair exhibit electrical components. This is a great opportunity to use your creative problem solving skills.
Work with museum staff to keep our outdoor area watered and weed-free during the summer and fall, and also work on new planting projects.

Special Thanks to the Kohl's A-Team for wrapping gift baskets for WOW!'s annual fundraiser event.

Special thanks to Scout Troop 78 and the Wagers Family for their Community Service Project, helping WOW! with re-painting and sprucing up the Museum. The scout effort brought in 56 volunteers who completed over 170 hours of service during their 2 day project at the Museum!
