If you have already volunteered with us and need to verify your hours, you can submit a request form below!
If you require a specific form signed you are responsible for either emailing it or setting up a time to get it signed at Sci-Tech.

Volunteers who do not properly represent Sci-Tech Discovery Center or meet the volunteer requirements will be asked to leave regardless of the completion of their shift.
