Join the programming department to enrich the experience of our visitors.   We are seeking individuals that enjoy working with the public, have excellent customer service skills, and want to help share their knowledge. We have two different types of volunteers so decide which one fits you and we will get you trained up in April to meet the crowds.

  • Docent:  Interpret Heritage’s collections for school, community, and adult groups by leading interactive, hands-on tours through our galleries and grounds.  This position is available throughout the season but tours are heaviest April- June.   Opportunities to cross train as a VEV volunteer are available.
  • VEV (Visitor Experience Volunteer):  As a Visitor Experience Volunteer, you will warmly welcome visitors as they arrive, distribute visitor guides, help with way finding, and recommend things to see and do around the grounds and galleries.  This position should work to inspire visitors to continue exploring and discovering all heritage has to offer.   Another key role is as event assistants; in this role you would assist Heritage staff before, during, and after special events to make them memorable. Positions are usually event specific but could include: ticket taking, way-finding,  aiding with event registration helping with kids crafts, or assisting with crowd control. This position is available throughout the season and requires a minimum commitment of 4 hours weekly.  Opportunities to cross train as a docent are available.

 

Qualifications:
Volunteers should understand that they will be outside and should come ready to work in all weather conditions. Training will be provided for all volunteer positions. Requirements: excellent customer service skills, ability to stand for long periods of time and have a positive attitude.
