The National Museum of the USAF is a great place to volunteer. You can choose your gallery and ensure that wherever you volunteer- it's exactly what you're interested in. Don't worry if you don't know everything there is to know about planes, other volunteers and reference materials are available through the museum and help make your role easy! The museum is a great place to meet new people, learn new things, and have a great time. The museum is also great at recognizing and appreciating all the work volunteers put in.
