Museum Volunteers

Save to Favorites

The Aga Khan Museum is currently seeking volunteers to support across multiple areas of the Museum. These are the current opportunities available:

• Summer Camp Volunteers - These volunteers assist children from ages 6 - 12 during our summer camp season (July and August).
• Visitor Services Volunteers - These volunteers engage and connect with visitors at various entry points in the Museum and throughout our spaces. Their primary responsibilities involve greeting visitors, assisting them with their questions, allowing access into the galleries and facilitating the safekeeping of coats and bags. Our Visitor Services volunteers also assist during all of our special events.
• Gift Shop Volunteers - Our Gift Shop volunteers are responsible for four primary tasks: they facilitate product sales in our Gift Shop; they assist the Shop Supervisor with product displays; they participate in the processing of new shipments and in the maintenance of stockroom standards; and they address questions from customers, providing general information about the Museum and specific information about Store policies and procedures.
• Education Volunteers - Our Education volunteers engage with participants of our educational programs as required, including conducting Permanent, Special Exhibition, Architecture and Park tours as well as school or special group tours, and by supporting in the classrooms and gallery activities during visits of school groups or planned family activities.
