Volunteers come to Science North because
they believe they have something to offer, they believe
in their community, they have a desire to learn, and they
want to contribute to a memorable visitor experience! We
are very fortunate to have them on our team! Here's what
they have to say:
I volunteer because... |
"I believe in
my community." |
"I have something
to offer." |
"I want to be
a mentor." |
"I learn many
new skills and its F-U-N!" |
"It's an awesome
experience! At first it was scary. My mark in science
has actually improved! It NEVER gets boring. There's
always something new happening!" |
"I enjoy watching
the children experience Science North!" |
"It's an opportunity
to meet people from all over the world!" |
"I learn something
new every day I am here!" |
"I enjoy meeting
and talking to people from all over the world. I find
it so interesting and am so proud of our beautiful
and unique Science Centre! |
