Youth Volunteer Opportunities

Summer Squad 2010

Join the Youth Volunteer Team at Minnesota Children's Museum!
PLAY! As a Youth Squad Volunteer, you’ll spend your time playing with children in the Museum galleries and leading creative arts programs. You’ll volunteer with other high school students from around the Twin Cities and meet lots of new people.

LEARN! Gain experience working with children and build your teamwork, communication and leadership skills. This is a great way to build your resume for scholarships, college applications, and future employment

SERVE! Support your community and the families who visit the Museum to play and learn by giving your time. You’ll be a positive role-model and make an impact on the lives of thousands of children.

Summer Squad volunteers must be entering 9th - 12th grades in the fall of 2010. Volunteers choose two weeks and one weekend of shifts during June, July and August based on their own availability - the weeks do not need to be consecutive. Shifts are from 8:45 a.m. - 2:15 p.m. each day.

Complete applications are due Friday, April 30 and require:

One completed Parent Permission Form and Reference Form
One completed Online Application

 Current Youth Volunteers say:

"It’s a great way to hang out with friends from school and brand new friends. Other teens should volunteer here because it’s fun, entertaining and a never-boring way to be around kids."

"I think volunteering with the Youth Squad has taught me really important values such as patience, cooperation, team-building, responsibility and conflict resolution, among other things."

"High school students should volunteer because it's a great way to give back to the community."
