Training about the museum, its history, collections and services is provided. Special Events volunteers take on short-term projects. These events offer opportunities to Scout groups, service organization, and corporate teams seeking a volunteer project that allows a team of people to make a contribution of their time and skill in a focused, time limited setting. Stop Spot volunteers demonstrate touchable objects for visitors in a variety of museum galleries. Objects are staged on movable carts throughout the museum.
Volunteers staff the carts for two-hour shifts during the week.
The Education Department provides necessary training as needed. Volunteer opportunities are available throughout the year.
