help in a variety of areas including:
Special Events
Work a two hour shift at one of our many special events throughout the year such as Pioneer Day, US Bank Art Show, or Christmas in Kentucky. Duties are as diverse as registering participants, taking photographs, or guiding Big Red around the museum! Special events are always festive and fun.
Exhibits and Collections
Work with our Exhibit Curator or Registrar/Collections Curator to research, photograph, or prepare items for exhibit from our many extraordinary collections.
School Field Trips
Work a two hour shift assisting with one of our many large school field trips. Children engage in a variety of hand-on activities throughout the museum and an extra pair of adult hands is always needed! Students and teachers are always so appreciative for the extra volunteer support.
Camps
Work with one of our outstanding spring, summer, or fall break camps. Assist one of our staff members with art and history programs as campers explore that week's theme. Camp is always a blast!
