Work With Us
The Koshland Science Museum offers a variety of opportunities for individuals interested
in science to share their talents. From volunteer Exhibit Interpreters who work with visitors daily to behind-the-scenes staff who work in the office, the museum provides
a fun and dynamic environment!
Volunteers
The museum utilizes volunteers as Exhibit Interpreters.
If you are interested in science and have a desire to learn as well as teach,
this is the volunteer opportunity for you. Volunteer Exhibit Interpreters interact
with Museum visitors daily, providing information about the exhibits, answering
questions, and conducting demonstrations. Benefits of volunteering at the Koshland
Science Museum include interaction with scientists, backstage participation
in special events, free Museum passes, discount at National Academies bookstore
and more. Volunteer Exhibit Interpreters provide visitor service
daily in four-hour shifts from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m, Monday through Sunday.
