Volunteer

Volunteers contribute an incredible amount of time, energy, and knowledge to the Beaches Museum and are a key factor in the success of the Museum’s Mission.  Whether you are a high school student looking for community service hours, a working professional looking to give back to the community, or a retiree interested in utilizing their vast experiences the Museum would love to have you!

Become a Volunteer

The Museum recruits new volunteers all the time!  We hold three Volunteer Interest Meetings throughout the year that give potential volunteers an opportunity to meet the staff, take a tour of the Museum, and learn about the Volunteer Program.  If you are interested in volunteering please contact Jon Wolf the Museum Operations Manager at info@beachesmuseum.org or call 904-241-5657 ext. 116.  You may also fill out a  Volunteer Application and return it via email or drop it off at the Museum front desk.
