Hello,

At Chabot Space & Science Center, full-time and part-time staff, as well as
Interns, are given free membership.  To my knowlege, Volunteers are
not--although personally I don't see why they shouldn't get them (perhaps
the 6-hours per month volunteering committment isn't deemed enough for free
membership, or that as volunteers they cannot receive this kind of
"compensation").
