SkillShare Volunteer

SkillShare volunteers are volunteers of all ages who have special skills that the museum needs to fulfill certain projects and programs. These projects align with the current needs of the museum and are constantly changing. If you don’t see something you would like to do, please check back or contact us directly!

Before applying, please read through the project description for details on timing and requirements. Different projects have different time frames and personnel needs. We ask that volunteers already have the knowledge to complete the tasks with no training from our staff and with limited supervision. Proof of skill may be required depending on the project. Materials and project descriptions will be provided.
