At Science Museum Oklahoma, we enrich people's lives by revealing the wonder and relevance of science. We welcome volunteers who share that same passion!
Volunteers are essential for enriching guest experiences and supporting operations at Science Museum Oklahoma. From encouraging guest exploration and program engagement, to supporting staff behind the scenes or with special events, volunteering at SMO is a great way to get involved in the community and make a real difference for our museum and guests.

We strive to create and support an affirming environment for all staff, interns, volunteers, and trustees.
