The Earth Sciences Museum is temporarily closed until further notice. We apologize to all of our visitors and groups for this inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
Without passionate and dedicated volunteers our museum would not be what it is today! We encourage student participation each term as well as long-term volunteers to help run programs, organize our collection and maintain exhibits. If you are passionate and enthusiastic about Earth Sciences, you may want to become a volunteer with us!
There are two volunteer options:
If you are a student hoping to expand your resume and knowledge of Earth Sciences please view all of our semester blocked opportunities under Student Volunteers.
If you wish to be a long-term volunteer please consider filling out a form under Long-term Volunteers.
Information and privacy: questions regarding the collection of information on this form can be directed to the form administrator.

Waterloo Science Outreach
The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
