Lend a Hand! Volunteers are an important part of the Children's Museum team
The Children’s Museum of La Crosse welcomes friendly volunteers, age 14 and older, who appreciate the power of play and enjoy interacting with children and families. There are ongoing and special volunteer opportunities, scheduling options and commitment levels available on weekdays, weekends and some evenings. The Children's Museum is also a fun place for groups to volunteer together.
