Why Volunteer with Discovery?
Volunteering at Discovery means joining a community that loves curiosity as much as you do. Our volunteers help create joyful, hands-on learning experiences for families, schools, and visitors from across the region. Whether you’re sharing your skills, learning something new, or simply enjoying the energy of the centre, volunteering is a rewarding way to give back, connect with others, and make a real difference in your community.
What You’ll Do
Discovery volunteers get involved in all kinds of meaningful work. You might help build or repair exhibits, support our educators during workshops, welcome visitors, assist with birthday parties, or lend a hand behind the scenes. Whether you’re handy with tools, great with people, or simply keen to help, there’s a place for you here. Every volunteer contributes to making science fun, accessible, and every visit memorable for our community.
