Volunteer Service Opportunities

Volunteers are the core of our museum and planetarium staff. Their knowledge and staffing enrich the museum and planetarium experience for visitors. Volunteers choose to work at the museum or the planetarium, and many of our volunteers assist in both locations. We have many opportunities for your volunteer service. If you are interested in volunteering at the museum, call Elizabeth Campbell at the museum at 910-579-1016.

Museum: Admissions register & information desk, gift shop register, gift shop inventory, touch tank, animal feeding, kitchen maintenance, Lecture Hall maintenance, lecture refreshments, summer children's programs, summer turtle program assistant, summer snake program assistant, school group docent or assistant, vacuuming & cleaning, fountain maintenance, bucket brigade, painting.

Other: Rack card distribution, office assistant, data entry, mailings, educator advisory committee, landscape, bake sales, special events, fundraising campaigns, marketing projects, photography, information updates, festival & event assistants.

Docents: What is a docent? A docent is a volunteer educator or volunteer with a special area of expertise. Docents will receive general training about the museum and planetarium, its history, and its mission. Docents use their education, career, and experiences to train our volunteers and share their expertise with visitors. The museum is especially interested in docents with experience in education, training, science, biology, environmental programs, marine biology, graphics, videography, or technology. Flexible schedules are available.

Volunteers-in-training will apprentice with more experienced volunteers and docents on the first day of volunteer service. Advanced volunteer training is held as needed on various topics pertaining to the museum and planetarium. Call Laura Frye at 910-579-1016 for more information.
