Volunteer assisting with Telescope viewing
Chabot Space & Science Center volunteers make earth and space science come alive for visitors through interactive and hands-on experiences. Extend your sense of wonder and increase your knowledge through our dynamic volunteer program.
 
  •  You don't have to be a scientist or a physicist; we’ll teach you!
  •  Learn to operate our historic telescopes
  •  Enjoy unique conversations with visitors on the exhibit floor
  •  Educate and inspire over 50,000 school children that visit each year
  •  Assist with special events and share Chabot with the community through outreach
  •  Shifts available Tuesday through Sunday daytime and Friday and Saturday evenings
     
If you love to learn and you care about the way we inspire tomorrow's scientists today, consider becoming a Chabot Science & Science Center volunteer. We ask our volunteers to work 8 hours per month and for at least one year.
