Museum calls for summer youth volunteers

 

The San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands is seeking youth volunteers, ages 14 through 17, to facilitate family activities during the museum’s annual Avoid Summer Brain Drain program, which begins June 15 and runs through July.

 

“This program is run entirely by volunteers,” said Jolene Redvale, curator of education. “Our youth volunteers participate in training, and learn communication, organization and leadership skills during the program.” Youth who volunteer over the summer will be eligible to participate in on-going leadership volunteer corps programs in the fall and throughout the next school year, Redvale said. Summer activities for families include art making, games, participation activities, and a good dose of unplugged family time.

 

“We rely on our volunteers to make all of our public programs viable,” said Redvale. “They are essential to the museum visitor experience. Summer programs draw thousands of visitors. During the year, our popular Santa’s Pajama Party, family fun days, Train Days and Insect Festival events cannot happen without our dedicated volunteers.”

 

Program volunteers must plan to attend a mandatory training workshop on June 11, 9:00 am to 1:00 p.m. and are required to volunteer a minimum of 20 hours during the program.

 

Youth may submit a volunteer application on the museum website, www.sbcountymuseum.org. Applications are due by May 22. When received, staff will send applicants a secondary application with further details about the program.

 

For more information contact Jolene Redvale at jredvale@sbcm.sbcountymuseum.gov or 909-307-2669 ext. 252.

 

The San Bernardino County Museum is at the California Street exit from Interstate 10 in Redlands. The museum is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 9 am to 5pm. The museum is accessible to persons with disabilities. If assistive listening devices or other auxiliary aids are needed in order to participate in museum exhibits or programs, requests should be made through Museum Visitor Services at least three business days prior to your visit. Visitor Services’ telephone number is 909-307-2669 ext. 229 or (TDD) 909-792-1462.
