Share Your Passion for the Museum’s Collection and History with the Community

There are many ways to get involved! From departmental support to gallery education, opportunities await.

Departmental Support Volunteers

Our departmental support team helps throughout the museum and spreads their enthusiasm with everything they do! If you’d like to join, we’d love to add you to the team. No prior experience is necessary—just an interest in the activities and programs we offer. 

Departmental Support Volunteers Opportunities Include:

Special events assistance (weekends and evenings)
Guest and member services (weekdays and weekends)
Office assistance (weekdays)
Research (weekdays, when positions are available)

Departmental Support Volunteers commit to serving at least 6 hours a month.

Volunteer Educators

Volunteer Educators support museum programming by facilitating engaging gallery experiences for museum guests, assisting with artmaking projects, and helping with outreach programs. We would love to have you as a volunteer educator! No prior experience is required, but comfort speaking in front of groups and desire to learn about art and history is essential.

Volunteer Educator Opportunities Include:

Leading school experiences in the museum for students in grades PK-12 (weekdays)
Leading tours of special exhibitions and the museum’s collection for adult groups (weekdays and weekends)
Facilitating artmaking projects for youth and family groups both in the museum and at partner locations (weekdays and weekends)
