Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Stay at Home  Parents as Volunteers





Stay at Home Parents as Volunteers 
Our museum will soon be opening a more extensive and  hands-on children’s 
discovery area which will inevitably over extend our  current volunteer 
population. We are seeking new and innovative ways to  attract more volunteers 
and one idea was to tap the stay-at-home-mom/dad  graphic. We have just begun 
to study the thought and realize some immediate  concerns; for example a Pro 
being- once the kids go off to school the  parents will be able to continue 
working with us. Con- what happens if mom  needs to change a pull-up during 
her shift?  
Have any museums tried this before in their volunteer  program, namely for 
their children’s discovery areas? 
Thanks for any feed back.
