The Center for Science needs you!
Come volunteer and be a part of Spooky Fest! This is our annual fund raiser – our organization is a non-profit science center that helps to promote passion for science to the community and takes care of many abandoned animals, so your interest in volunteering with us is greatly appreciated!
