Calling all volunteers!

Blog entry by Danielle Follett Chard, The Leonardo's intern.

Leonardo Da Vinci said it well: "It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." And that's exactly what we've experienced with you!

One of the wonderful things about The Leonardo has been loads of help from the community as we've developed this totally new kind of museum experience. Well, opening day is coming and we need one last push to get us there -- all of you! The Leonardo is looking for a team of long-term and short-term volunteers who want to help us prepare to open and be part of sharing this museum with Salt Lake after we open later this summer.


Not only do we have the incredible Beesley offer still open, but we have openings for people in all sorts of other fields as well. So if fine art and architecture aren't quite your bag, fear not! If you're good at orating, organizing, orienting, or just about anything in between, there's something you can do to help! We'll have roles for people who just want to share in the excitement by welcoming people to the museum and guiding them through the floors to people with experience and interest in digital media/animation, genetics, neuroscience, cognitive development, prosthetics, rehabilitation, amputation, or physical therapy/rehab. We're also looking for those with lab tech certification or first aid/EMT/CPR certification. And, of course, we'd love anyone that can speak a foreign language. See? There's something for everyone!

So if you're looking to help out a great cause and get a wonderful community resource open and running, you can fill our our volunteer application online or call us at 801.531.9800.
