How to apply

Please apply at any time! Volunteers are typically taken into the organization three times a year (March, June, and September) through the following process:

1. An online application is submitted here. Selected applicants are invited to an interview.
2. After interviews and reference checks have been completed, successful candidates are offered volunteer positions. A Police Information Check (PIC) is required for volunteers 18 years and older. Volunteers who turn 18 while on the job will need to obtain a PIC. Instructions for obtaining a PIC at no cost will be provided.
3. New volunteers attend a weekend orientation session.
4. Volunteers are connected with their supervisors and schedules are established. Job training takes place during the first shift and volunteering begins! A three-month trial period is a part of every volunteer position.
5. In additional to regular volunteer duties, periodic calls for special event support will be sent to the volunteer community.

• Passionate about the place where creativity, conversation, and science intersect
• Interested in welcoming and reflecting people of all ages, cultures, and orientations
• Open to learning new things
• Committed to providing a high standard of service in a collaborative environment
