Volunteers at the Museum

Volunteers are not paid -

Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.

The Muskegon Heritage Museum offers many opportunities for Muskegon area residents to volunteer. With no paid staff in our organization, we are always looking for help.

Heritage Museum

Museum Staffing during open times:

We need volunteers who love to interact with our visitors and answer questions about the museum and our collection. Training for those assisting at the museum will be coordinated according to your available time.

Museum Research

There is a need for persons who are willing to search local records for upcoming exhibits. Whether that be at the Muskegon Public Library, County Museum, some other reference location and the Internet.

Docents

Docents provide tours of the museum for school or other large group tours. The museum is set up to be self guided most of the time, but these volunteers can provided extra information about our collection. You may be trained to run the printing press, steam engine or other equipment if you are so inclined.

Museum Maintenance

As a volunteer based organization we need people to assist with painting and repair of the museum structure and our equipment.
