Every volunteer matters at Kidzu Children's Museum.

What a great way to spend a few hours a week, having fun and making a difference in the lives of local children!  You can help visitors make fun crafts, read them a wonderful story or play a game, help a child celebrate their birthday or help staff our special events. We need help each day during our craft and story times in addition to help with weekend birthday parties. Two hours here or there would be a huge help.  If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please fill out our volunteer application form below or email clossick@kidzuchildrensmuseum.org to have an application sent to you.
