You’re here to get your J.D., but what if you could add “Playologist” to your resume as well?! There are opportunities to volunteer six days a weeks at the Iowa Children’s Museum and help their staff (playologists) run events, interact with families, and putting props away after the kids are done enjoying them. The Iowa Children’s Museum is very flexible about volunteer hours; please email Alex Alwine, Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@theicm.org to inquire more about dates and times.
