Hands On:  

  • Discovery Center Guide

    • Be a tour guide of exploration!  Greet guests, operate the check-in counter and cash register, engage visitors and help them explore the exhibits we have.  Animal care and handling are really helpful tasks in the center too.

  • Cleaning Help (Huge!)     

    • From daily vacuuming and wiping tables, to weekly shelf dusting and regular toy sanitization, we would love assistance keeping the center sparkling and germ free!                                                 

  • Special Events

    • From festivals to expos, we need extra hands to transport materials, set up, engage the public, tear down, and  return materials.  Many hands make light work--and happy vision casters!    

  • Exhibits (Building/Maintenance)

    • Help build new and exciting exhibits in our center and help maintain existing ones. Carpentry, engineering and electronic skills welcome here!  We love dreamers too, bring your ideas!

Development Team:

  • Outreach

    • Social media, website, graphic design, printing, passing out pamphlets and flyers, and even inviting people to VIP tours of the center!

  • Experience Advisory Team

    • Looking for input on programs and curriculum as well as exhibits and the general COG experience. Parents and teachers this is a great outlet for  your wisdom and expertise!

  • Grant Writing and Fundraising

    • Keeping this space low cost is important to us and as a nonprofit, we rely on grants and fundraising efforts to grow. Grant writers and well connected or outgoing friends helpful here!                  

  • Board Member

    • Get into the nitty gritty! Be a part of this growing non profit! Lawyers, accountants, business owners, realtors, librarians, teachers, parents, professionals, and of course dreamers, are welcome here!
