Volunteering
 |
You don't have to know ANYTHING about astronomy to help! Many of our best volunteers know very little about astronomy. So check us out! |
VOLUNTEERS are always welcome at Perkins Observatory!
There are many, many areas where you could be of great help to us. Right now, we can use assistance during our Friday evening programs. Volunteers who show aptitude and willingness can learn to conduct tours, help with the parking, or run a small telescope for public viewing.
You do not have to be an astronomy expert to volunteer! Don't believe me? Just check out our current volunteer staff!
While anyone and any skills are welcome, below are a few areas of particular need. Please look them over and let us know if you'd like to help Perkins serve the people of central Ohio. And remember, volunteer work looks great on a resume!
Volunteers should have their own source of transportation for safety reasons.
Call and ask for Don.
Clerical Assistance
These duties and responsibilities have grown greatly in the past
few years. We could really use some assistance in running the
office. General clerical assistance is needed (and we can train
you). Even if you can only come in a day or two each week, it would
be a big help.
Artistic Skills
Can you draw, paint, or create images on a computer? If so, we can
use your skills. You could paint a mural on one of the walls, help
design an exhibit, or create some drawings, paintings, or computer
images to be made into slides for our public talks.
Model Building
Similar to artistic skills, but more specific. Are you good at
putting together plastic models of spacecraft? If so, we'd love to
hear from you.
