Headwaters Science Center Volunteer Opportunity


Please join Headwaters Science Center, 413 Beltrami Avenue NW, Bemidji, Tuesday, September 3rd through Friday September 6th to paint the interior of the science center.  Valspar Paint donated 75 gallons of paint to HSC through the Minnesota Beautiful Grant program administered by the Northwest Minnesota Foundation.

To accomplish the task of painting the interior of our building, HSC will be closed to the public starting on September 3 and will re-open for regular hours on September 7th at 9:30 am.  Volunteers are needed to help HSC staff and board members paint the interior of the science center.  No experience required and a minimum time commitment of two hours is requested. Interested volunteers can sign up for a time slot by calling 444-4472 or emailing director@hscbemidji.org.  

Painting will occur between 8 am and 6 pm starting September 3rd and ending September 6th.  Volunteers should wear painting appropriate clothing and bring brushes and rollers if they have them.  Paint and some supplies will be provided by HSC.
