Volunteer Opportunities
From exhibits, collections, and programs to events, community outreach, and more, Chandler Museum relies on dedicated volunteers to meet its mission! We are continually looking for individuals who will help us better serve the community.
Chandler Museum volunteers have the unique opportunity to support history, art, and culture while learning new skills and meeting people with similar interests. Volunteers play many roles at the Museum, including planning and staffing special events, learning with visitors, guiding tours, caring for artifacts and the oral history collection, and offering administrative support.
Volunteer applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Assignments are offered based on the needs of the Museum and the applicant's interests and skills. We ask for a minimum of 6 hours per month for at least 6 months. Volunteering is open to applicants 18 years of age or older.
