Volunteering at The Tech
Tech volunteers have provided over 100,000 hours of service, in a variety of roles. Our volunteers are the heart of The Tech! They contribute their talents, knowledge, skills, enthusiasm, and energy to our educational institution and, in turn, provide an invaluable service to our community.
We Need YOU!
The Tech needs volunteers to:
- Welcome visitors to our exciting exhibit galleries

Do you have a few hours during the weekdays to help "Inspire the Innovator" in visitors from around the world?

What can I do?
Here is a list of current opportunities:
- Exhibit Explainers: Exhibit Explainers interact with museum guests of all ages by assisting guests to explore exhibits and sharing their knowledge of the science/technology behind the exhibits. They may also perform interactive science and technology demonstrations. A science/technology background is helpful but not required to become a Tech volunteer as training is provided. All that is required is a strong interest in science and technology plus the ability to communicate with people of all ages and background. There are current openings for weekday daytime volunteers and adult weekend volunteers. High school students are invited to apply to be placed on a waiting list.
