The Program
Membership Volunteers serve as liaisons between Membership and Visitor Services and Museum members. They are dedicated to providing service to all members and visitors in order to enhance the quality of their Museum experience.

Volunteers staff the Membership Desks Tuesday through Sunday, serving three-hour shifts approximately two to three times per month. Duties include selling memberships and renewals and assisting members and visitors with information regarding the Museum, membership programs and events. In addition, Membership Volunteers serve as greeters during special exhibitions.

The Training
The Membership Volunteer Program trains new volunteers once each year or as needed. After the application and interview process, a series of training sessions must be completed during a four- to six-week period. New volunteers serve as interns for six months, with veteran volunteers as mentors.

The Requirements
Membership Volunteers must maintain Museum membership, attend ongoing continuing education sessions, and serve a minimum number of hours per year.
