Established workplaceAccepts general applications
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: The museum’s volunteer page lists practical assignments that go well beyond fundraising. Tour volunteers lead hands-on visitor groups; watercraft support includes paint-shop and vessel-maintenance work; gardens and grounds volunteers manage planting and invasive vegetation. Each assignment has its own commitment, and the museum says departments absent from the list are not presently taking new volunteers. This is a specific heritage and waterfront-service programme with a direct adult application. No volunteer housing or RV provision is described, and paid internships follow a separate formal recruitment process.
Staffing evidence: Standing programme or repeated hiring at this place. Checked October 9, 2026.
