Volunteers Volunteering at the Museum The Great Lakes Children's Museum operates with a small staff; therefore, volunteers are vital to help make operations run smoothly. The Children's Museum values all our volunteers. They make it possible for the Museum to enact its mission of offering exciting, educational, safe experiences for all our visitors. Volunteering is a wonderful way to contribute your time and skills to benefit our community, as well as to develop new skills and interests, meet new friends, and make a difference in the life of a child. The Museum provides endless challenges for creativity, imagination, and exploration, and is currently looking for dedicated volunteers to help fulfill it's mission.
