Anyone can volunteer
The Discovery Volunteer program welcomes people from all backgrounds to share their love of curiosity, creativity and service with others. We engage high school and college students, adults and many community or corporate groups in volunteer work.
As a volunteer, you’ll help facilitate hands-on learning activities and provide information in a dynamic environment for kids and adults. To get started, all you need to do is create your online volunteer profile and attend a one-time volunteer training session.
General volunteer questions and group volunteer inquiries can be directed to Kennedy Kruse at 608-316-4574.
