As a Children's Museum of Tacoma volunteer you will have as much fun as our visitors!

We want to ensure that every child and family can come play, so we offer Pay As You Will admission. Eliminating cost barriers means the Museum has a greater capacity to reach more families, engage more children in playful learning and support more parents. This is one of the reasons why we rely on volunteer support.

For more information, download a volunteer packet or contact the Museum for details: Jen McDonald, volunteer coordinator, 253.627.6031 ext. 231 or email jmcdonald@playtacoma.org.
