Explorer - MACU Museum

About the Organization Thanksgiving Point is a nonprofit dedicated to sparking curiosity, inspiring confidence, and helping children and families discover something new each time they visit. Through our museums, gardens, and farm experiences, we create hands-on adventures that are centered around all things STEM.

Born from a spirit of gratitude, we are proud to be a community-centered organization where science, nature, and the arts come alive. Each year, thousands of guests walk through our doors to explore, play, and grow-and it takes a passionate, creative team to make that magic happen.

If you're looking for meaningful work in a place where ideas are welcomed, teamwork matters, and every day brings something different, we'd love to meet you.
