Are you a history buff? Do you like children? Or are you just a fan of Museums so much you never want to leave them?
Consider volunteering at the Swedish American Museum! Volunteers have
always been an integral part of the Museum since it’s inception in 1976, and we truly value their hard work.
We have a variety of volunteer opportunities available to suit varying interests. For history lovers, serving as docents and helping in the permanent exhibit is a great opportunity. If you like children, then volunteer in our Brunk Children’s Museum of Immigration, where you can help with field trips and classroom activities. The Museum is always hosting special events, workshops, and lectures providing cultural and educational programming to the community.
Volunteers helping at these programs strengthen our mission of preserving Swedish heritage and culture. People-friendly volunteers are a perfect fit for working the front desk or helping out in the Kerstin Andersson Museum Store.
Volunteering at the Museum is an excellent way to earn community service credit for students, learn how a Museum works, and celebrate Swedish culture.
If you would like to learn more, or become a volunteer, please contact Benson DuPriest, Membership and Volunteer Manager, at 773.728.8111 ext. 28 or e-mail him at BDupriest@samac.org.
New volunteers are always welcome!
