We are looking for volunteers to join our Docent and Greeting Team. Ideal volunteers should feel comfortable greeting and engaging with guests, provide helpful and accurate information including conducting/leading group tours, have a can do attitude, a desire to learn and share new things. An interest in World War II and Maritime history is a plus but not a requirement.
Docents responsibilities include greeting and signing in guests, collecting ticket payment for tours, leading a group of guests aboard and providing accurate and relevant information regarding ship history. This opportunity requires the ability to work within a range of motions between sitting and standing for a variation of time, ability to climb up and down ladders to gain entry aboard and inside the ship, and the ability to navigate in unique shaped spaces.
Greeter responsibilities include greeting and engaging with guests and crew aboard the ship, collecting ticket payment for tours, maintaining crew presence in entry ways, monitoring non-crew area entries, and general opening/closing procedures. This opportunity requires the ability to work within a range of motions between sitting and standing for a variation of time, and the ability to climb gangways or step stairs to gain entry and move about in the ship.
We look forward to having you aboard!

Mission Statement

Description
The Richmond Musuem Association (RMA) operates the Richmond Museum of History, located in a historic Carnegie Library. The Museum is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 1-4PM for a small admission fee. The largest artifact in the museum collection is the SS Red Oak Victory, a Victory Ship built in 1944 for use in the Pacific Theatre in World War II. The ship is open for docent lead and self guided tours on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 10-3.
The Richmond Museum Association (RMA) offers volunteer opportunities for people of all walks of life. Our community of like-minded volunteers works toward a common goal to inspire people through Richmond history. RMA will make you feel welcome whether you seek to develop professional skills, deepen your own personal interests or just want to feel more connected to the past. The Museum and SS Red Oak Victory depend on volunteers with a wide range of skills so we can accomplish goals like operating the ship under her own power or ensuring every local student visits the Museum once during elementary school. We offer a wide range of positions to fit diverse skill sets including everything from greeting guests to education to ship restoration and everything in between. Volunteering is fun and fulfilling, leading to health benefits and enhanced quality of life, so join us today!
