Survey Assistant Volunteers
We are conducting a demographic
survey of our guests that will tell us who
visits the California Science Center and
their reasons for doing so. This data will
help us
improve our programs and services.
If
you are enthusiastic with a fun personality
we would like your help to conduct a survey
of California Science Center guests. This
is a great opportunity for students or
anyone interested in learning about visitor
studies. |

the California Science Center to achieve its
goal of stimulating curiosity and inspiring
