Volunteering at the museum is a great way to be involved in the community and to help us out. Volunteers make things happen and are the backbone of our organization. There are plenty of activities that could fit your interests and schedule. We provide opportunities for the following:

  • Internship Opportunities
  • Service Learning Hours for High School Students
  • Community Service Hours

Volunteer Opportunities

Tour Docents

Our docents help run the programs for class tours. They lead groups of student in discovery at the museum, at the adobe and also aid students with hands-on activities.

We presently have class tours at the Washington Township Museum of Local History and at Rancho Higuera Historical Park.

We also lead walking tours of historic districts. Interested in being a part of these fun events? Give us a call!

Museum Greeters

Our volunteers keep the doors open. We need your help to greet visitors, to orient them to the museum and to take care of various duties such as filing, organizing, sales, etc.

Museum Collections

Duties may include working in cataloguing, exhibits, or researching information.

If you like to take pictures we need someone to photograph items in the collection.

Do you have these talents to share?

We need help with: Technology

We are always need help to set up and maintain our computers, AV system and presentation hardware.

We need help with: Art skills

We always need help with adding to our Facebook page and set up of our brochures and flyers. We could use the talents of graphic artist to help with flyers for our school programs and historical information pamphlets.

We need help with: Sewing

We are developing a living history part of our school tours and need people with sewing skills and ideas for making period costumes.
