Visitor Experience Volunteers

Would you like to help create a positive experience for all visitors who pass through our doors? As a Visitor Experience volunteer, you would serve on the Museum’s front-line, greeting, directing, and otherwise assisting guests, to ensure that their visits are easy and enjoyable ones. Volunteers can be stationed by the Museum entrance, in the coatroom, throughout exhibit areas, or elsewhere out on the floor, and must demonstrate ongoing willingness and flexibility to work in any of these areas as required.

No special education or knowledge base is required. The only requirements are that you:

• Are friendly, outgoing, polite, and helpful.
• Genuinely like interacting with people of all ages and backgrounds, and are comfortable addressing groups.
• Can and will remain enthusiastic and courteous while conveying the same information (or performing the same basic tasks) repeatedly.
• Are at least 16 years of age.
• Can remember and convey directions and instructions clearly.
• Are responsible, dependable, and punctual.
