Join the fun as a field trip volunteer at the Balloon Museum! We introduce young learners to the concepts of buoyancy and ballooning through hands-on activities, museum tours, and a walk inside a real hot air balloon envelope. Volunteers gently encourage discovery-based learning while celebrating the spirit of innovation and exploration that fueled the development of lighter-than-air flight.
This session will provide an overview for new volunteers considering the program. There will be a separate, required prep session in late October for all volunteers old and new as we get ready to launch.
Field trips run most Tuesday and Thursday mornings, November through May. Volunteers select days that fit their own schedules.
If you are interested but cannot make the training, please contact our Field Trip Coordinator: Diane Short - dshort@cabq.gov | (505) 768-6032.
Prerequisite for field trip volunteers: Attend a New Volunteer Orientation and complete all required Qualifications.
