The Children's Museum of Southern Oregon
  • Museum Floor Pop-Up Programmer -  Interact with guests and present interactive items like animal furs, musical instruments or building blocks.

  • Museum Floor Program Instructor - Present a program on a regular schedule.  We can provide the program or we can work with you to develop one that is all your own.  This could be dance, science, imagination, storytelling - the sky’s the limit.

  • Museum Program Assistant - Aid the Program Instructor with all aspects of the program including set-up, delivery and clean-up.  Must be available at the times of the programs.

  • Museum Detail Cleaner - Get into all the nooks and crannies of exhibits to assure that they are clean and sanitized.  

​

Museum positions require a commitment of at least 1 hour per week for 3 months.  There is a required training session before volunteering in the museum.  This training session takes about 1 hour (some may be able to be completed from home). 

 

Museum volunteer positions are open to anyone 14 years or older (dependent on the position).  Under 18 requires permission from a guardian.  For volunteers under 16, a guardian must also attend the training session. Community service certificates are available for all volunteer hours.
