Volunteer Information

Volunteers are the core of our Planetarium and Museum staff. Their knowledge and staffing enrich the Planetarium and Museum experience for visitors. Volunteers choose to work at the Planetarium or the Museum, and many of our volunteers assist in both locations. We have many opportunities for your volunteer service.

If you are interested in volunteering at either or both locations, contact Laura Frye, the volunteer coordinator at 910-579-1016 or e-mail her at laura@museumofcc.org ..

The Planetarium has needs for docents with experience in astronomy, chemistry, photography, education, and computer graphics. Flexible schedules are available throughout the year. The Museum is especially interested in docents with experience in education, training, science, biology, environmental programs, marine biology, graphics, videography, or technology. Flexible schedules are available throughout the year.
