Join our mischief during MICE by becoming a volunteer! Our little mice hands are only so big, so we need your help to run our show through the weekend! Check out the site for more info.

Every year, I get to hear such cool stories from volunteers! So many walks of life come through as the most helpful hands for the weekend. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered with us in the past, and welcome newcomers!
