What Is COSI Youth Operational Volunteer?
COSI's Youth Operational Volunteer pathway is an in-person museum-service opportunity in Columbus, Ohio for applicants age 13 or older. Youth volunteers may greet guests and assist COSI educators; COSI says training and tools are provided and no prior subject-matter expertise is required.
The 2026 youth application was open August 1-15 and is explicitly closed. COSI reviewed applications August 16-30, sent interview invitations August 31, and scheduled in-person interviews for September 15, 16, or 17 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Selected applicants were due to receive decisions September 30. New volunteers must complete three separate four-hour training sessions, choosing one 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. or 1:00-5:00 p.m. session on each of October 24/25, November 21/22, and December 12/13.
