Madison Children’s Museum will be closed from January 4th, 2010 until early fall 2010. During the time we are closed we will need volunteers to help with our special events in the community!
Family Volunteers
Family Volunteers are made up of a team of any adult and child who have a long term relationship or bond. The adult and child do not necessarily need to be related by blood, live in the same household, or have the same last name. Family Volunteers could be a mother and son, step-father and step-daughter, grandparent and grandchild, or an adult and their younger sibling. Regardless of the type of pair, the adult and child will work together as a team to complete assigned volunteer tasks.
To qualify to be a Family Volunteer, the adult must be 18 years of age, and older, the child must be 8 years and above, and have their legal guardian or parent’s permission to volunteer. Only 1 adult, and up to 2 children will be allowed to volunteer together.
Positions Open: Family Volunteers are needed to help with special events. Dates and times of the events vary. Feel free to contact the Volunteer Coordinator for more details!
Special Event Volunteers
MCM needs help with our special events year ‘round. Volunteer tasks will vary by event. These are one-time volunteer opportunities that are open to individuals, over age 14, and small groups.
Positions Open: Dates and times of the events vary. Feel free to contact the Volunteer Coordinator for more details!
