Volunteer

Volunteers are always needed at the Mai Wah! The kinds of help you can provide range from a strong back to professional guiding through the exhibits. If you’d like to be on the notification list for any of these roles, let us know at info@maiwah.org, contact a board member, or stop in at the museum when we’re open to talk about things.

  • Clean-up assistance: We are always working on organizing and moving things. This often happens during “service days” during the off-season.
  • Staffing the museum: We can only afford to pay our seasonal museum manager for part-time work, so board members and others fill in. Requires some training.
  • Guide services: Even if you can’t or don’t want to hang out in the gift shop, you could learn to be a guide, both to take up the slack when we are open and to serve as a guide for tours during the off season (we are always available for tours by appointment).
  • Outreach services: Do you like working with children? We get requests to provide programs both at the museum and in school settings.
  • Other: Once you become familiar with the museum, you may well have your own ideas for areas where you’d like to contribute. Let us know!
