volunteer with us

Whether you are an outgoing people-person or a solitary spreadsheet maker, a storyteller, gardener, or researcher, or maybe you like learning from those around you, we want you on our volunteer team.

Our volunteers provide critical support to museum staff, from providing visitor experiences to behind-the-scenes collections care. We cannot do what we do without people like you.
