Welcome Desk: Welcome museum visitors, share about the museum, and ring up store sales. Shifts are available Wednesday-Saturday between 10 am and 4 pm.

Other: Do you have a specific skillset that you think might benefit the museum? We are currently looking for volunteers with store inventory and videography experience but may have additional needs in the future. Let us know how you’d like to support, and we will reach out to you if there’s a need that fits your skillset!

Community members play a critical role in supporting our committees by providing perspective, expertise, and support to our team and board. Committee involvement is based on availability and expertise gaps. If you are interested in supporting a committee, please let us know which one you are interested in and we will reach out with more information.
