Christina Calogheros has logged more than 8,000 hours volunteering at The Exploration Place Museum & Science Centre.
The inspiration behind her dedication is her sister-in-law Tracy Calogheros, who is the CEO of The Exploration Place.
“I saw just how much work Tracy was putting into this place – she put her heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears into it,” Christina recalled. “Seeing that first hand I thought if I could give some time here and there then why not? It’s a non-profit charity and there’s not enough money to go around and it makes me feel good to contribute.
Everyone that works and volunteers for The Exploration Place has so much love for it, Christina added. “It just resonates,” Christina said. You spend a bit of time here with everybody and you see how much it all means to them and it inspires you to do the same.” Christina said they are always looking for more volunteers and it’s not a big commitment. An hour every other week, a couple of hours a month, whatever people can do would be helpful.“I do a little bit of everything so right now we’re taking one exhibit down and replacing it with another,” Christina said, who is in her work coveralls. “My favourite part is just to interact with people. It’s always busy here and there’s always something that needs doing.
