Volunteer Opportunities through Give Pulse:

“Volunteering at Muse Knoxville was such a meaningful experience. I got to spend time with kids and families from all kinds of backgrounds, which really opened my eyes. It taught me a lot about how important it is to be mindful of different cultures, how to communicate in ways that really connect, and how powerful community spaces can be for bringing people together.”

“This was one of the best volunteer experiences I have had here at UT! It was fun being able to interact with kids and make crafts with them. I was able to connect with other volunteers and we were able to help keep Muse in great condition. I highly recommend volunteering here!”

“I had a great time volunteering at Muse Knoxville! The children were energetic, sweet, and full of curiosity. It was amazing to see their excitement while exploring and playing. Volunteering at Muse Knoxville was a rewarding experience and I loved being a part of such a fun environment!”

January Volunteer of the Month!

Sadie Smith

“My name is Sadie Smith, and I am a senior nursing student at the University of Tennessee. I love volunteering with Muse because I get to see the creativity and learning that takes place with every child in the exhibits. I will be working as a nurse in pediatrics when I graduate, so seeing the way that Muse has an impact on kids’ lives is something I am grateful to be a part of.”
