Opportunity Details

Sensory Inclusion Event at NEAq: Support

Designed specifically for those with special sensory processing needs, this event will use soft lighting, limit the use of microphones, and there will be other modifications to the building to ensure a comfortable environment for all those attending.

This sensory inclusive morning is a continuation of the work we started with Kulture City, in which we were designated a sensory inclusive facility, and is supported by a generous donor gift.

We need your help! Volunteers in this role will help staff the event at various stations. Activities in need of volunteers include:

  • Provide customer service, such as way-finding around the building
  • Staffing quiet spaces
  • Supporting activities throughout the building, including education stations and biofacts
  • Those trained in touch tanks may staff Edge of the Sea and/or the Shark and Ray Touch Tank


While prior experience working with children with sensory needs is helpful, this event is open to all current volunteers. Prior to the event, volunteers will be required to view a 45 minute lecture series on working with children with sensory processing needs, which can be done on your own time. Details on this training will be sent prior to the event.

Signup below at least 4 days prior to the event, and reach out if you have any questions/comments/concerns.
