This is an excellent way to give back to your community. Whatever your age, interest, or ability, we have a job that you’ll enjoy. Sign up with a friend or on your own. Meet new people and work in a stimulating and educational environment. Our volunteers, aged 12 to 90 have logged over 103,000 hours since the opening of the Museum in 1997.
