volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of Flying Cloud Institute's success. For over 35 years, we have brought in real scientists and artists who inspire youth to see themselves as scientists and artists. Many FCI graduates do become successful scientists and artists and return to volunteer and give back as adults themselves!
