Be an Imagination Station Volunteer

Volunteering is the best way to bridge the gap between your skills and passions and the needs of our community. At Imagination Station, you are on the front lines for hands-on science education in our community, and you will find that your volunteer experience will not only be fun, but also inspirational to others!

How it Works:

There are a variety of ways that you can share your time and talents at Imagination Station! From Summer Camp to behind-the-scenes work, we have something for everyone. We'll provide you with everything you'll need from any relevant training to Team shirts. All you'll need to do is come in and have fun!

  • We ask that each reoccurring volunteer commits to at least 10 hours of volunteer time per month, for a minimum commitment of 6 months.
  • Volunteers must be at least 14 years old.
  • Potential volunteers are asked to fill out the appropriate application and go through an interview process, including a background check and drug screen.
  • A typical shift for a volunteer is four hours, depending on the position.
