Volunteer on the Discovery Council

The Discovery Council is the Museum’s all volunteer fundraising auxiliary which organizes annual events in support of the Museum’s programs and exhibitions. We look for energetic people who are able to contribute their time, talent and resources to the three fund-raising events we sponsor each year. This is an opportunity to help an institution and make a difference.

As a Discovery Council member you must commit to the following:

  • Serve a minimum of three years on the Council
  • Attend monthly meetings at the Museum or off-site. We do not meet in July or August.
  • Actively participate in Council events by serving on an event committee and attending two of the three council events; Goblin Jamboree, Discovery Forum and the Spring Gala, Playdate. In the case of the Goblin Jamboree, Council members are required to work two shifts at the event. In preparation for Playdate, Council members are required to attend three workshops, including a set-up or breakdown.
  • Maintain a Supporting museum membership ($225 with Council discount). This covers the council dues and gives you all of the benefits of the enhanced membership level.
