The Thinkery loves working with individual and group volunteers. We believe in our volunteers, their ideas and impact. Our volunteers allow us to deliver the quality and quantity of programs needed to serve Central Texas. All volunteers receive training to empower them in their roles at the Thinkery.
Individual volunteers can get involved here is many ways. Individuals can support with our exhibits, programs and activities by helping deliver STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) activities to families at our museum and at outreach events. There are also opportunities to mentor in schools as part of our EdExchange program that takes STEAM curriculum to schools, as well as our Tour program. Volunteers can also help out behind the scenes in our administrative offices, and by helping with material preparations for our workshops, series and programs. There is a myriad of roles to choose from that involve working with kids and families, as well as behind the scenes roles. Our schedules are flexible, with shifts that fall during weekdays, Wednesday and Friday nights, and weekends. Volunteers can try their hand at lots of different roles without committing to a minimum number of shifts per month. We have a large selection of volunteer opportunities with flexible schedules. I hope we can find a role that will be a great fit for you!
