Job & Volunteer Opportunities

We aim to match your interests and skills with the specific requirements of different volunteer opportunities. You'll be consulted about where you'd prefer to work as a volunteer. Opportunities in education, collection work, exhibit preparations, research and reception are available for those wishing to volunteer. There are many ways to volunteer depending on how much time you can spare. Full-time, part-time, evening and special event volunteering are options.

Examples of just a few of the ways you can volunteer are:

• Leading games at our PA Days, March Break or Summer Camp
• Working with the artifact collection or exhibits
• Researching local history topics
• Working on community projects

If you require a set amount of volunteer hours for school or a service requirement please contact the Education Officer to set up a time to meet and discuss your time frame. There are many opportunities to get your volunteer time either completed quickly or over a longer time.

You are never too old or young to volunteer and your age may in fact make you more suitable for some kinds of volunteering. When volunteering for a not-for-profit organization the usual minimum age is 18. However, school mandated volunteering and the appeal for young people to volunteer at the Museum has given us the opportunity to have young volunteers from age 14 to 18 volunteer with a parent or guardians approval. 

The Woodstock Museum requires reference contact details, depending on the volunteer role. Before referring you to a particular volunteering opportunity, we'll talk to you about any references that the Museum requires.

Volunteer roles that involve working with vulnerable people, such as the frail aged or children, require careful screening. Police and "Working with Children" checks protect your safety as well as the clients of the Museum. The type of check depends upon the volunteer role; you'll be advised if a check is required to undertake the role.
