Looking for input on programs and curriculum as well as exhibits and the general COG experience. Parents and teachers this is a great outlet for your wisdom and expertise!

From daily vacuuming and wiping tables, to weekly shelf dusting and regular toy sanitization, we would love assistance keeping the center sparkling and germ free!

Be a tour guide of exploration! Greet guests, operate the check-in counter and cash register, engage visitors and help them explore the exhibits we have. Animal care and handling are really helpful tasks in the center too.

For those interested in getting their hands in the dirt, volunteers assist with transplanting, harvesting, washing, & packing farm fresh produce. Volunteers go home with fresh produce as a thank you!

Keeping this space low cost is important to us and as a nonprofit, we rely on grants and fundraising efforts to grow. Grant writers and well connected or outgoing friends helpful here!

Get into the nitty gritty! Be a part of this growing non profit! Lawyers, accountants, business owners, realtors, librarians, teachers, parents, professionals, and of course dreamers, are welcome here!
