S’edav Va’aki Museum Launches New Teen Volunteer Initiative

​The S'edav Va'aki Museum is excited to announce the launch of the new Teen Volunteer Program, which will recruit high school-aged students (14-17) interested in gaining professional development at a cultural institution. The museum invites teens to apply as the applications open on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

Led by the Museum's current AmeriCorps VISTA, the Teen Volunteers will gain hands-on experience by engaging with the public and spreading knowledge concerning topics about the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People. Their roles include but are not limited to, initiating informative artifact interactions with visitors; assisting outdoor educational programs; and leading indoor exhibit-based activities. Returning teen volunteers will have the opportunity to gain more responsibility in higher-level educational roles.

The benefits of the program focus on students' professional development. The program will satisfy both volunteer and internship graduation requirements. It will allow students to build skills and network prior to college and open new opportunities for unique letters of recommendation.
