There are many volunteer opportunities at the Clay Center. It is truly a rewarding, exciting and fun opportunity to meet people and to enjoy amazing performances. If interested in volunteering for the Clay Center, please fill out this application. Then attach your completed application to an e-mail and send it to appropriate Volunteer Coordinator below.

Helping out in the Clay Center’s “Little Shop of Wonders” – our on-site retail store is just one example.  This store sells educational toys, beautiful hand-made jewelry, items of glass, textiles and other ‘little wonders’.   The shop is in need of clerks to assist our guests in their gift selection. If you have minimal computer skills, we’d be delighted to train you on our point-of-sale software – but if not, we still need floor staff. The hours are 11:00 am to 2:00 pm Wednesday through Friday.  For information, please email the Gift Shop Manager. 

Additionally, we have the following opportunities available:

Art Docents:

Share your passion! Make a difference! Become an Art Docent!

We are looking for enthusiastic people to help us assist school children and families who visit our galleries.

Attention Teenagers! Need community service hours and want a fun place to earn them?

The Avampato Discovery Museum are looking for Cranium Cadets, youth volunteers ages 13 – 17. Cranium Cadets provide important visitor services to the Museum’s guests.
