Calendar of Events

Welcome, prospective volunteers! The Discovery offers a variety of rewarding volunteer opportunities, from greeting visitors, to helping present science demonstrations, to working behind the scenes. Volunteering is a great way to get involved with northern Nevada’s world-class, hands-on science center. As a volunteer at The Discovery, you’ll gain new skills and experience, meet interesting people, and enjoy a fun, collaborative atmosphere. All volunteers must be age 16 or older and will be asked to pass a background check and attend…

The Discovery would not be Northern Nevada’s most exciting educational resource if it weren’t for the tremendous support of the museum’s amazing group of volunteers. To thank you for your support of the museum’s mission, we invite you, your friends, and your family to The Discovery’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Celebration. Please join us for a Candy Land-themed event that includes snacks, refreshments and an awards presentation for the museum’s most dedicated volunteers! Let us know you’re planning to attend!
