People who volunteer at the Children's Museum are a very special group. They don’t mind noise and mess. They enjoy getting their hands dirty. They laugh a lot. And they love kids and learning.

There are 200 of these extraordinary people involved at the Children’s Museum. They are our shining stars. There are always plenty of opportunities for members of our community to get involved. These include:

• Doing demonstrations in our galleries
• Assisting with educational programs
• Helping with workshops for early learners
• Assisting with birthday parties
• Supervising crafts
• Taking on administrative tasks
• Working with our collection
• Helping with exhibits
• Assisting with day camps during school holidays
• Helping with special events
• Cleaning and maintaining our building and exhibits
• Participating on committees

Our need for volunteers is year-round, with our busiest times being summer holidays, March Break and the months of May and June when we offer special activities for school groups.

Volunteers undergo a formal screening process, for the protection of our vulnerable population of children, and anyone over 18 years old requires a criminal reference check. Training is provided, on-the-job and in special sessions. Required qualifications include a love of children, a desire to help, a bright smile and a positive attitude!

Our volunteers learn new skills, build resumes, make a real difference in the community and have fun! After three months of service, they also receive a complimentary membership which provides free admission to the Children's Museum and participating science centres across Canada, discounts on our programs, Explore Store purchases and at other venues through the Attractions Ontario Reciprocal Agreement and lots of other great benefits!

Our 3M Shining Star Volunteer Program is generously supported by 3M Canada.
Be a Shining Star!
