Lot of activities for children
The Discovery Center appreciates all of our volunteers and realizes we could not offer such a great place for the Gateway area children and our surrounding 5 county areas without the many hours of dedicated volunteers.

If you have creative hands, we can always use volunteers for face painting. Call us to find out more and join the fun by establishing a regular day or time you would like to volunteer.
