The Smithsonian Sleepovers are an amazing experience for all parties involved. As a volunteer you meet a lot of great fellow volunteers and you get to interact with the children participating. You learn a lot about the venue where the sleepover is being held, you see all the hard work being put in by the Smithsonian Associates, and you walk away with a great experience. Would definitely recommend for others & participate again.

The staff at the Smithonsian were very pleasant and energetic about their cause. It was nice to help a cause that was so important to them. I would definitely volunteer for their organization again. I also had a chance to meet a lot of wonderful volunteers.
