Gallery Volunteers serve as stewards of LA Plaza’s mission within exhibitions and create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all backgrounds. Gallery Facilitators provide in-gallery support by conversing with visitors about museum content and related history; answering visitor questions about permanent and temporary exhibitions; helping visitors navigate the museum; monitoring galleries for safety; administering surveys; and providing additional information about LA Plaza’s programming, mission, and history as needed.
Volunteers should have a strong interest in serving LA Plaza’s community and demonstrate an ability and willingness to communicate with different audiences. The ideal volunteer will serve as an ambassador to connect LA Plaza’s mission and exhibitions with the local community. Volunteers can expect to become knowledgeable about the history of Latinx communities in Los Angeles and gain museum career experience, if desired. This position will work with the Visitor Services, Education, and Curatorial departments.
