Interested in Volunteering?

For more than one hundred years, volunteers have kept the Woodman Museum humming and vibrant. During our 2025 season we are seeking dedicated individuals to expand our volunteer base.

Opportunities include:

· Leadership positions and general volunteers for signature Woodman Museum events and community event tabling opportunities. (Event Volunteer)

· Unpaid internships for mature high school/college students (Intern)

· Individuals to tend to the Gift Shop (Gift Shop Attendant)

· Individuals to tend to our galleries during open hours (Gallery Attendant)

· Museum Educators who provide tours to visitors (limited availability; Museum Docent Volunteers)

Our greatest needs: How you can help, and what’s in it for you:

Event Volunteer: We have many events at the museum each year, and also make several appearances at community events. We could use your help! You might want to assist getting everything ready in the days before an event, help with setup or teardown, or help staff engage with patrons at our booth or table. You’ll get to hang out with staff, help the community learn more about the Woodman Museum, and meet some great people!

Gift Shop Attendant: You’ll welcome visitors, provide general information about the museum, conduct admission/merchandise/museum tour sales. You get to be the first point of contact for museum visitors! Some days are quite busy in the gift shop.

Gallery Attendant: Learn the general collections of one of our museum buildings. Over time, develop more in depth knowledge of some key pieces, and/or learn about the collections in another of our buildings. You’ll have fun talking to people, keeping an eye on the goings on and providing some in depth knowledge to our patrons. (You may even get some reading done on slower days.)

Your commitment:

For an Event role, we ask that you help out at least 3-4 times per year. These opportunities are very dependent on our event schedule, but your shift for the day of the event can be very flexible - even if you only have an hour or two, we’d love your help.

For an Attendant role, we ask that you volunteer at least two shifts per month during our museum’s open hours (at least once per month during Winter season). Keep in mind this is an average, and we understand you may not have year round availability, and that you have other commitments - we’ll work with you on scheduling that meets our needs and works for you! We have whole day, half day, and shorter shifts available.
