High School Volunteer OpportunityROM for the Holidays

Do You...

  • Have an interest in nature, science, history, education, and/or learning?
  • Enjoy working with children and families?
  • Want to build your work skillset?

The Royal Ontario Museum has many exciting programs over the holidays that encourage education focused on biodiversity and natural science using interactive areas, which include activity boxes, displays, and real artefacts and specimens. As a Program Volunteer you will have the opportunity to build your public speaking, team building, and customer service skills, while meeting lots of new people!

Requirements

Must be a minimum of 16 years old by December 25, 2024. Must be a high school student.

Must be available for a minimum of 3 shifts between December 26, 2024 to January 5, 2025. Shifts will be from 10:30am to 3:30pm (subject to change).

Must be available for training on December 14th, 2024 from 12-4pm.

Come prepared for being active and on your feet!

Note that ROM for the Holidays is extremely busy, so being comfortable working in crowded, noisy environments is essential.

We are happy to provide documentation for Community Service hours upon completion of shifts.
