We are gearing up for a very exciting weekend and opening month here at the Louisiana Children's Discovery Center. We could not do it without you - our giving volunteers! This email is coming to alert you that we will be scheduling a volunteer orientation very soon, so please keep your eyes open for that! Also, below are a few important things to know as a volunteer.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!
Thank you for giving of your time!
A few important notes to help make your volunteer experience a great one:
Please check in at the front desk when you enter. There will be a "Volunteer Check-In Binder" with a printout of the Volunteer Spot Roster. Find your name and initial or sign.
Let the front desk staff know that you are here. She/he will have someone show you where your volunteer spot is (if you don't already know). You will receive a brief introduction of what your activities/duties will be. Volunteering is mostly on-the-job, hands-on training!
If you notice anything that needs attention with the exhibits, please let a staff person know.
Parents are with their children and "should" be monitoring them but please still be sure to watch out for the children's safety, especially the exit doors!
If there are any accidents/injuiries please let a staff person know so that an incident form can be completed and held on file.
When you need a break, please let a staff person know so that we can relieve you.
DRESS CODE: You will be playing with children so comfortable clothing is the best! We recommend khaki pants (no jeans) and a solid colored polo type shirt. We have ordered smocks/aprons for volunteer use as well.
Encourage the children in their play, help pick up/organize and keep the exhibit areas clean.
Have fun!

If you are a member of a group or association which you feel may be interested in doing some "group" volunteer hours, please let me know and I'll be happy to speak with the group! Feel free to forward this email to your friends, groups or civic associations!
Please contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you!
