VOLUNTEER
 As a subsidiary of the Bowers Museum, the Kidseum offers an interactive cultural arts experience for the younger spectrum of museum patrons that differs from the typical childhood museum visit. Among the numerous experiences we offer, the Afterschool Program for neighborhood students 5 to 13 years of age is where we are in greatest need of volunteers currently. These students participate in our program to receive tutoring for enhancement of their skills and abilities, assistance in homework completion and art instruction. Additionally, students are encouraged in general life skills, as well as, in developing bonds with their fellow students. The Afterschool Program hours are 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday with volunteers beginning their shifts at 2:00 p.m. Volunteers will be assisting the students with their homework, providing one on one support, mentoring, facilitating art projects, and more.

On the first Sunday of each month, Target Stores, Inc. sponsors free admission for all Bowers Museum and Bowers Kidseum patrons. Also, on those days, the Nicholas Endowment sponsors cultural festivals that celebrate the rich and varied contributions of many nations and civilizations. For example, on March 1, 2009 the Bowers Museum hosted an Italian Festival; and, on April 5, 2009 we will host a Japanese Festival - complete with food, entertainment and fun! Volunteers working the festival are on site from 11:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. helping run art projects, providing patron services, serving food, and more.
