What our Teen Volunteers are saying:

“One of my favorite parts of volunteering at the Cube has been the emphasis on working together.  Working in partners and together on group tasks has really helped me to value collaboration…”

– Ashley

“Discovery Cube is like a song on the radio- you’re unsure if you like it at first, but the more you experience it, the more you love it. After joining the Cube’s volunteer family, I made numerous new friends.  I also developed numerous skills that prepared me for the professional workplace as well as college.”

– Harrison

“…I have met so many other individuals in the volunteer program that have grown into some of my closest friends.  The volunteer program holds a familial aspect to it, and it has been so much fun working with my friends to promote Discovery Cube’s mission.”

– Katherine

“I became a Cube volunteer because I love science …my involvement in the volunteer program has made me a more outgoing and social person.  Constantly interacting with guests has made me not afraid to engage in conversation with someone I don’t know.”

– Rushika
