Volunteer
Volunteers engage learners and support behind-the-scenes Museum work.
Volunteers are essential to the Brick Store Museum’s mission to ignite personal connections to local history, art, and cultures. Each year, volunteers of every age and talent contribute their skills, perspectives, and life experiences to support the Museum’s work. Thanks to their dedication, the Museum is able to offer exceptional programs and events that engage and inspire visitors.
At an in-kind rate of $33 per hour, volunteer hours are valued at nearly $250,000 annually at the Museum. That’s huge!
Volunteering at the Museum
Responsibilities
Volunteers carry out a variety of essential jobs here at the Museum. Some volunteers donate their time weekly, others for special events. When you apply to be a volunteer, we’ll sit down and talk about what works for you.
Every volunteer is responsible for the preservation of our shared history and art through their work in educational tours and exhibitions; at the welcome desk; in collections cataloging and digitization; in facilities management, and in special programming – to name a few.
Types of Roles
Volunteers at the Museum take on many different jobs, depending on their previous experiences, skills, passions, and available time. While the Museum benefits from your generous volunteerism, we want to make sure you are reaching your goals, too. People of every background are needed to operate and sustain a multi-disciplinary Museum, including those skilled in: history and the arts; carpentry, preservation and maintenance; research and writing; education of all ages; finance and accounting; governance and planning; marketing and development; technology and social media; hospitality and travel; entertaining and community; and so much more.
