kidscommons Charity Profile
A fun, safe, and inviting place, kidscommons nurtures exploration, collaboration, and creativity within all children and their caregivers. It is a place to learn about our community and our world.
When kidscommons Children’s Museum opened in downtown Columbus, Indiana on October 1, 2005, visitors discovered exciting exhibits in a space five times larger than the original facility housed in The Commons Centre. Facilitated by local architect Louis Joyner and assisted by Quatrefoil Exhibit Designers from Maryland and professionals from the Cincinnati Children’s Museum, kidscommons has been designed to serve children from infants through age fourteen.
kidscommons Volunteer Information
Volunteers are vital to kidscommons. In 2007, 520 volunteers donated over 2700 hours! You will be part of a team whose goal is to work together to make sure every guest has a positive experience at the museum and wants to come back again and again. You do not need to be a teacher in order to be a great kidscommons volunteer. All you need is curiosity, an interest in learning and sharing what you know, and an enjoyment of working with children and families. You will have many opportunities for on-the-job training. Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age.
