Are you a teenager who nerds out about nature or history? Are you looking for a cool place to spend your summer? Are you hoping to gain practical experience in a museum setting? If so, then the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History has the perfect opportunity for you!

During this free seven-week Teen Volunteer Program, museum enthusiasts ages 13 to 17 will traverse Oklahoma’s natural and cultural history through exclusive behind-the-scenes tours and conversations with scientists. Through volunteer opportunities, participants will learn from hands-on experience in a museum setting. At the end of the program participants will showcase what they learned in a fair for their friends and family.
