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!
Are you interested in volunteering? There are lots of different ways to help. Let’s talk! Please call 413-645-3058.
