Welcome!
Friends of Explorit was founded as an adult volunteer group in 1998. There are no membership dues but Friends members are encouraged to be members of Explorit.

So, you ask, what do Friends of Explorit do?

Basically, the group works to further Explorit's education mission and provide auxiliary/ancillary services to support the work of Board and Staff.

Some Friends are supportive simply through their voluntary cash donations (that are in addition to their Explorit memberships), others work actively on teams such as
  • the Explorit Store (gift shop) Team,
  • the Library Team,
  • Mailing Party and
  • Hospitality Team.
Additional team members are ALWAYS needed and welcomed so check out the explanation of what the teams do and then contact us to let us know how you'd like to be involved.
Meetings of Friends as a unit are rare while the teams are kept comfortably busy doing things that relieve staff of many crucial but peripheral things.

If you are already a member of Explorit, would you like to join Friends of Explorit in support of the Science Center's education mission: "to involve people in science experiences that touch our lives?" We do hope so.

You may wish to print out and return the printable membership form (pdf).

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Evelyn Buddenhagen, Anne Hance,
Members of Friends of Explorit Executive Committee
