Opportunities

Our main long-term opportunities are being a docent and working at the front desk. Both of these positions require training, which we provide 3-4 times a year. These are very rewarding opportunities, but because of the training involved we ask that volunteer be willing to commit to one year of service. |
If you are looking for one-day events or can’t commit to a regular schedule, we have plenty of opportunities including gardening, caring for our live animals, maintaining exhibits and helping at special events. Whatever your schedule, we have a volunteer position here for you. |
For more information view our brochure or contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 420-1168 or mary@santacruzmuseums.org.
