Volunteer Opportunties - Museums/Discovery Centers

Space Foundation Discovery Center
Space Foundation's Discovery Center is the region's first and only dedicated space, science and technology center and museum. As an interactive, education-focused destination, we advance science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEM) in the exciting context of space exploration. Our ambassadors (volunteers) are the "secret sauce" that makes the Discovery Center so remarkable. With year-round opportunities within the museum gallery and interactive labs, you'll be part of a team dedicated to making space accessible for all.
