Volunteerships

Bring astronomy to the public — volunteer with Durbin, operate telescopes at Astronomy Nights, and help run CASSA's outreach.

Give your time

Volunteer with Durbin

Most volunteering at CASSA runs through Durbin, the Center's volunteer-based astronomy outreach initiative — built around astrophotography, public Astronomy Nights, school visits and immersive science communication. Volunteers operate telescopes at public events and remote imaging camps, and form fixed teams each cycle to develop lasting materials from Durbin's deep-sky imagery.

No prior experience is required — selected volunteers receive structured training before handling equipment, and those who complete a cycle receive a Letter of Experience. All outreach involving minors follows CASSA's safeguarding policy.

Learn more about the programme on the Outreach page and the Durbin volunteers page.
