The USS Midway Museum is looking for volunteers who enjoy crafts and interacting with the public to join their Knot Team. The Knot Team has a very popular exhibit where volunteers demonstrate rudimentary knot tying skills.

The team makes and gives knotted items for a suggested donation toward the Midway Education Scholarship program. The total donations collected since they began have reached more than a million dollars!

Opportunity Requirements & Important Notes

Time Commitment: 10 hours per month. Flexible shifts are available 10:00am - 5:00pm on weekends and holidays, with the possibility of volunteering from home with approval.

Required Skills/Experience: Strong interpersonal skills, the ability to learn and demonstrate knot tying, and a basic understanding of the museum's layout and history. Previous knot tying (especially of monkey fists and Turk's heads) or macrame experience is preferred, but the team is willing to train.
