Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring the success of the museum and its mission. Whether you have a passion for history, enjoy working with the public, or prefer behind-the-scenes tasks, there is a place for you on our team. By donating your time and skills, you will help create an engaging experience for visitors, support the preservation of important artifacts, and contribute to the growth of the museum as a center for education and historical appreciation.
There are many ways to get involved, whether as a museum guide sharing the rich history of the Massachusetts National Guard, assisting with social media and communications to expand our reach, or helping to develop programs and events that engage the community. Membership outreach and fundraising efforts are also vital to sustaining the museum’s operations and ensuring its continued success. Volunteers with specialized skills are especially valuable, including those with experience in museum operations such as archiving, preservation, cataloging, research, and exhibit setup. Individuals with backgrounds in volunteer program management, weapon maintenance, event planning, donor outreach, and administrative support are also encouraged to lend their expertise.
No matter your background or availability, your time and effort make a significant impact. Whether you can contribute a few hours a month or take on a more active role, your involvement helps bring history to life and ensures that the legacy of the Massachusetts National Guard is preserved for future generations. If you are ready to be a part of this important mission, we invite you to sign up and join our dedicated team of volunteers.
