About

Opportunity Description: Student volunteers will assist with Palouse Discovery Science Center to help keep things clean and set up for kids to come take classes.

Museum-keeping at Palouse Discovery Science Center- PDSC is more than a museum, they are a community hub for interactive science learning. In addition to the exhibit hall, they offer after school classes, camps and exciting programs for children and families throughout the region. This spring, they are in need of a few extra hands to help keep the facility and grounds in tip-top shape for the curious kiddos. Duties will depend on the activities of the week but will likely consist of a combination of indoor/outdoor tidying and maintenance. Tasks may include raking, weeding, wiping surfaces, watering plants, cleaning and organizing toys and education materials and helping prepare crafts and take-home kits.

Days/Times: Transportation will NOT be provided. Please meet at Palouse Discovery Science Center 5 minutes earlier than the start time at 4:55 to meet your Project Leader.

Requirements: Service hours are allocated based on the amount of direct service participation and do not include meeting and travel time. Students can expect to receive approximately 1 hour of service. Please dress appropriately for the possibility of working outdoors or indoors, warm clothing and closed-toed shoes. Masks must be worn at all times.

COVID: As a reminder, as part of the WSU spring 2021 Semester Testing Program, many WSU students will need to take a COVID-19 test upon their arrival to Pullman. This includes: students living in WSU residence halls or WSU-owned apartments; students who work on campus; students who have in-person activities, classes or appointments, including athletic programs; students who plan to access any campus facilities (e.g. dining facilities, CUB, Chinook Student Center, recreation facilities, SPARK, etc.). Students living in Pullman are strongly encouraged to take advantage of arrival testing.

All volunteers must complete the WSU attestation form before working on a CCE project. This can be done at https://attestation.wsu.edu.

You are required to provide your own transportation. We will be meeting at Palouse Discovery Science Center at 4:55. Once the project is completed, students will leave through their own means of transportation that they used to arrive on site.

All COVID regulations will be followed. You MUST have a mask on at all times while on site and do your best to keep 6 feet social distancing.

Cancellation Policy: Participants can unregister on GivePulse up to 24 hours before the scheduled project start time. Please let CCE staff know if you are unable to participate if it is within 24 hours of the project meeting time. The CCE has a strict No Show Policy. After 2 No Shows students will be unable to participate in CCE-led Projects for the rest of the semester.

The CCE strives to sponsor activities that are accessible to all students. If you need accommodations to fully access the activities offered through the Center for Civic Engagement, please contact Sandra Kelly, at 509-335-7708 or sandra.kelly1@wsu.edu at least one week prior to the activity.
