Position Descriptions

Greeter Volunteer 

Greeters provide a warm and welcoming presence to visitors. Greeters will be stationed at the entrance to the Monroe Science Center to welcome, direct, and engage visitors. Greeters will provide general information to guests and assist the welcome desk and other customer service staff.

Safety Observer Volunteer 

Safety Observers are responsible for observing children and adults at the exhibits. In addition to assisting visitors who have questions, they ensure that visitors operate exhibits safely and appropriately. Volunteers will enforce regulations put forth by the Monroe Science Center. These may include no running, no eating or drinking inside, and making sure caregivers and chaperones stay with their children.

Education Volunteer 

Education volunteers will engage with visitors and lead demonstrations. Volunteers should be able to explain the scientific foundations of those demonstrations. Once we begin programming, volunteers will assist in setting up activities and cleaning after the program. Education Volunteers will assist with birthday parties, field trips, and group visits.
