Play. Inspire. Volunteer.
At the Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota,
you can make a difference.
Volunteers are an important part of our team at the Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota. We welcome individuals and groups, age 16 and older, who appreciate the power of play! When you volunteer at the Children’s Museum, you take an active role in bringing about meaningful, enduring change in your own community. As a volunteer you will be working with other caring, committed people who want to make an impact.
Volunteering opportunities are limited. For more information about volunteering contact us at info@cmsouthernmn.org or at 507.386.0279
