Volunteer

By volunteering with Kohl Children’s Museum of Greater Chicago, you can help children learn through play, exploration, and discovery. Since 1985, Kohl Children’s Museum, a not-for-profit, educational facility, has been dedicated to “hands-on” learning and fostering innovative ways to nurture a love of learning in young children. We are one of the few museums in the country that has always focused on early childhood education – the fundamental, critically important learning that occurs from birth to age 8.

Operating seven days a week in a 46,700 square foot, Silver-level LEED certified, universally designed facility, there are many ways that you can make a difference in the lives of thousands of young children.
