My Nonprofit Reviews

I began volunteering at LVNHM in October 2021 and I still get excited each and every time I come in. It’s a great place to engage and make connections in the community. The staff and people here are welcoming and lovely to know. Some volunteer duties consist of regularly cleaning and sanitizing in each room, speaking to guests in exhibits, doing activities related to exhibits, assisting with birthday parties, tour guides, etc. Specimen tables and activities are my favorite, I am constantly learning while also teaching young guests. You do not need any knowledge on history or any of the specimens, although doing your own research wouldn’t hurt. The best thing about these tables is seeing the guest’s face light up when they notice how big a Megladon tooth is for the first time or even the face of “that’s cool, but yuck!” when you tell them that rock they’re holding is actually coprolite. I’ve volunteered at a few places before and this is by far my favorite. The coordinator is super flexible with volunteering schedules and is so awesome. Join the volunteer team here!! You won’t regret it.
