This orientation is specific to those volunteers who want to volunteer at the Lab during Field Trips during the week (Monday-Friday) and want to work directly with children and staff, creating great experiences for them. If this describes you, there are a few requirements you must meet:

- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You will be required to undergo a background check, at our expense.
- You must commit to volunteering with the Children’s Science Center for 10 hours in your first year (4 field trips).

Field trip volunteer orientation is designed to equip volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to support students during their visit. The orientation consists of two main parts:

Presentation in the Garage: Volunteers will start by gathering in the garage for a presentation. During this session, they will learn about the organization's mission, history, and overall goals. This portion aims to provide a solid understanding of the organization's background and the context in which they will be working.

Field Trip Experience: The second part of the orientation involves an actual field trip experience. Volunteers will be assigned to groups of students and will rotate through various experience areas within the lab. This hands-on session helps volunteers become familiar with the different stations and activities that students will engage in, ensuring they are well-prepared to guide and assist throughout the field trip.

Overall, the orientation is designed to blend informative learning with practical experience, ensuring that volunteers are both knowledgeable and comfortable in their roles.

Field Trips are in the mornings Monday-Friday at the Children's Science Center Lab during the school year, except for some school holidays.

The volunteer shift is 2.5 hours, either from 9:30am-12:00pm, or 10:00am-12:30pm. 

Field Trips are for Elementary Schools.

If you are not willing or able to meet these requirements, we would still love to have you volunteer in other roles at the Science Center. You can assist in behind-the-scenes preparation and stocking, community events like Family Science Nights, and some special events. If you wish to volunteer in these support roles and not as a field trip volunteer, you do not need to attend an in-person orientation. Instead, you can sign up immediately for any opportunity on the volunteer portal, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements as listed in the opportunity description.

If you are willing and able to meet the Field Trip Volunteering requirements and are interested in participating in an orientation, please first review the changes to our volunteer policies here.

We will be holding orientation 1 time monthly, and upcoming orientation dates will be posted here as they are scheduled. 

Feel free, also, to email the volunteer team at volunteer@childsci.org with questions and for more information.

Pumpkins For Pigs Foundation (PFPF) is a 501.3c focused on reducing food waste in local communities across the US.  

PFPF started in 2017 with 10 donation sites in Loudoun County with the aim of reducing food waste one pumpkin at a time. Through conversations with donation sites,  donors and others, it was clear there was a need and a desire for these services.  With each passing year, the list of accepted items expanded.  Today, we serve over 500 communities in over 40 states -- 150+ here in Virginia alone.  With a conservative estimate of over 700 tons diverted in 2022, we are just getting started and see enormous opportunity to further our impact.

It achieve our goals, we need a steady source of income.  We need someone to help us organize and execute whether on ideas we have or better ones you know are more effective/impactful.

MK9s Service Dogs is looking for help from a certified public accountant to perform a financial review of our nonprofit organization. If you are able to help us with this need so we can continue fundraising in our current states we would greatly appreciate it.

Do you enjoy spending time with great people? Do you love horses?

Bridle Paths is looking for volunteers to help before, during, and after adaptive riding lessons to ensure client safety and help keep sessions on time and track.

Experience working with horses is not required. We train each volunteer to work with horses and riders in a therapeutic context. Younger volunteers partner with older, more experienced volunteers to help with horse and barn care and preparing horses for lessons.

Duties include: 

Volunteers must complete an application and participate in a barn visit before signing up to be added to the schedule. Interested volunteers will learn about the duties involved and determine fit for the tasks we need help with during their barn visit.

The volunteer application can be found on our website at https://bridlepathsva.org/volunteer-application-form/
