Volunteering

We wouldn't be NCM without our amazing volunteers!

Volunteers create a welcoming atmosphere and provide basic information about NCM’s objects, exhibitions, accessibility resources, wayfinding and public programs. Volunteers proactively show and explain to audiences how to engage with our objects, interactive displays and exhibitions. They also invigilate the museum to ensure the safety of our exhibitions and objects. Volunteers are the lively faces in our museum spaces, directly interacting with our visitors.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with NCM! Our volunteer applications are currently closed, but we will advertise for more volunteer positions when we have space available. Please keep an eye out on our socials for when we open applications again.

If you have recently applied and have not heard back within a month, please kindly accept this as a decline.
