Since it is a group activity, it becomes both a learning and social occasion for everyone. Training classes provide a background in natural history as well as mobility skills. Requires a one year commitment. Desert Naturalists , ages 13 and up, work with an adult in sharing information about desert natural history, and give live animal demonstrations in the Museum's Desert Discovery Lab . The teens work mostly on the weekends, so there is a need for additional adult volunteers who are available on weekdays.
Training is provided.
Requires a nine month commitment. This group is currently closed and will not recruit new volunteers until October, 2001. Exhibit Interpreters are our newest volunteer group. Volunteers are outgoing and love to share information on our exhibits with the general public. They are trained on every aspect of the current traveling exhibit and work on the floor answering visitor questions and offering extra tidbits of information.
