Why Volunteer
Museum volunteers truly make a difference and help ensure that each visitor to the museum has a wonderful experience. For our volunteers, it is just as much of a rewarding experience. In addition to supporting the Museum, our exhibits, and programs, volunteering lets you share and learn new skills, make new friends, join a community of like-minded individuals, make an impact, help others, and so much more.
