MAKE HISTORY, SCIENCE, AND NATURE COME ALIVE!
Bring lively learning experiences to mid-south residents! Learn new things!
As a volunteer for the museum, you will meet people from all over and learn more about history, science and nature. You will help others and gain new skills. Training, invitations to special events, and discounts in the gift shops are some volunteer perks. You can also earn individual and family memberships as you increase your hours of service.
For 80 years we have provided our visitors with educational experiences to enhance their lives. We would love for YOU to be a part of that "never ending discovery."
