The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery and SunWatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park are committed to being the premier place in the region for people to explore the many wonders of the world. Our volunteers are committed to excellence! Meet new people, enjoy the surroundings, be a leader and have fun!

We do not require you to volunteer a set number of hours each month, but do like to set up a rotating schedule that fits your needs and those of the Museum. There is a required volunteer orientation for all new volunteers that will take about two hours. We review Society policies and safety policies and tour the Museum and meet staff members.
