Volunteer

As a non-profit charitable organization, Science World's volunteers are integral to our story and have been since day one.

We were founded by a group of dedicated community members who believed that fun and relevant science-learning experiences are important to the growth of our city and province. Today, our volunteers help us toward a bright tomorrow. They ignite wonder and empower dreams in every region of BC.

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities for teens, adults, professional scientists and curious community members!
