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 patrons.

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

Applications close 16 July
