The Museum of the Palestinian People is currently recruiting in-person volunteers to welcome visitors with in-person tours of our location in Washington, DC, and virtual and in-person volunteers to support its online and in-person programming. The museum is currently open to the public on Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The museum also offers arts and culture events and programs that relate to the Palestinian people, such as cooking classes, book talks, documentary screenings, interviews, and embroidery workshops.

Volunteers participate in every aspect of the event planning process, including creating concepts for the events, writing invitations, coordinating with special guests, running the events on Zoom or in person, and helping with other technical or administrative needs.

Volunteers who train as docents regularly give tours on Saturdays during museum hours. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and walks of life to join our team, and especially encourage Palestinian Americans to inquire about opportunities to docent.

As a volunteer-driven organization, the museum seeks candidates that are interested in developing knowledge of the museum and its collection, eager to share Palestinian history and culture with visitors, and are looking to join a tight-knit community of energetic, committed volunteers.
