A good science center is a community. Visitors, members, corporate sponsors, private donors, volunteers and staff collaborate in Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s community to ensure that the institution is just as vital and important to North Carolina in 2049 as it was when John Motley Morehead III established it in 1949.

Are you curious about the role you can play in this community? You can start by becoming a Morehead member – but you can do so much more. Explore the links at left to learn about the various opportunities to support a North Carolina treasure.
