We know your time is precious. So, it doesn't matter if you have 1 hour or 1 day that you can share with us, we'd love to have you. We have lots of ways you can spend your time doing things you enjoy that will also help us. Our volunteers assist with exhibition development, collections management, educational programs, membership development, events, fundraising, receptions, as tour guides, etc. Our aim is to utilize a volunteer's individual interests and talents to enrich the Museum.
The
benefits are not all one-sided; as volunteers you'll gain knowledge,
make new friends, attend special programs, and feel the satisfaction
of taking part in the activities of a very special and worthwhile
institution. While we have many loyal volunteers giving many hours
a year each year, we are always reaching out to find other interested
individuals to bring fresh ideas and abilities to the organization.
If you have a little extra time in your busy life give us a call
