Volunteering

We wouldn't be NCM without our amazing volunteers! The NCM volunteers play a vital part in the operation of the museum, collection and programs. To ensure that your volunteering experience is valuable to you, we run volunteer projects with specific learning objectives and outcomes, in an area that interests you. This means you might work on more than one volunteer project at a time, while still volunteering through our general stream of volunteers.

We are currently seeking applications for multiple volunteer positions. If you are interested in joining our team, read more and apply below.
