Your time is a gift to MMCM!
Volunteers help with many museum projects – from field trips to special events to behind-the-scenes work, too!
Make some time in your schedule for fun! Join our team of volunteers and discover how rewarding giving back to our community’s children can be. Here is a quick sampling of our ongoing volunteer opportunities:
Gallery Guides – Gallery volunteers help us keep the galleries organized, lead activities for our guests like obstacle courses or parachute play, encourage young artists in the Art Mart, and much more.
Educators – Education students, current and retired educators, scientists, engineers, and passionate professionals help us with field trips, interactive hands-on programming, and day camps.
And more!
This is just a quick snapshot of the opportunities we have available. Let us know your specific talents HERE and we can find a way to make the most of them.
In addition to the satisfaction of a job well done, our regular volunteers can receive documentation of hours and letters of recommendation. We are excited to have you join us!
