Volunteer at the Children's Museum

April was Volunteer Appreciation Month! Over the last 12 months, we had 148 volunteers help at the Children's Museum. That's 1,126 hours of time that volunteers have given to the success of our events and programs. THANK YOU!

Playpals needed to join the fun!
The Children’s Museum values volunteers and the time and energy they contribute to the success of the Museum! We will always try to accommodate your schedule.

We have volunteer opportunities available in these categories: Play Specialist, Teens, Special Events, Family Program, and Stars of the Museum.

Play Specialist
Along with the Museum Guides, a Volunteer Play Specialist will interact and assist guests of the Museum and promote an exceptional Museum experience.

Teen Play Specialists
Teenagers are welcome to volunteer at the Children's Museum. We are looking for mature, outgoing teenagers (16 year and older) who will interact and assist our guests and promote an exceptional Museum experience.

Special Events
A Special Event Volunteer helps the Museum staff prepare for a special programming event and may assist with set up, registration, serving food, or directing guests.

Family Volunteer Program
Through this program, parents can share the benefits of volunteerism with their own children. Accompanied by an adult (parent, grandparent or friend), young volunteers 10 and up may be “museum experts,” interacting with and helping younger visitors discover more about the Museum. Parents will see confidence and self-esteem increase as they watch their “tween” teach a young child to recognize a letter or climb the Beanstalk. Family volunteers are needed whenever the Museum is open. The Museum is happy to work with you to accommodate your schedule.

Stars of the Museum
The mission of the Stars group is to serve as a support group for the Children’s Museum of Winston-Salem; to highlight volunteer opportunities with the Children’s Museum; to provide educational/social opportunities for members, and to increase the visibility of the Children’s Museum in the Community.
