Museum of Discovery

Little Rock, Arkansas

Little Rock science and technology museum with teen, adult, animal-care, and group volunteer paths supporting hands-on learning and museum operations.

Museum of Discovery invites episodic and long-term volunteers age 14 and older. Its official page separates teen, adult, animal-care, special-event, camp, and group paths; publishes a minimum monthly commitment for regular volunteers; and requires orientation for individual applicants. The Summer 2026 Discovery Camp counselor application is closed and is therefore not presented here as currently open.
