Volunteer Opportunities

Seward House Museum offers a variety of opportunities for individuals interested in volunteering.  Volunteer placement is made based on an individual's interests, experience, abilities, availability, and on current volunteer openings. Volunteers assist the Museum staff in the following capacities:

• Docents (Tour Guides)
  Docents provide guided tours through the home.  A wonderful way to share your love of history with others.
• Information Desk
  The front desk volunteer greets visitors, explains museum tour, and answers general questions. 
• Special Event
  Volunteers assist staff at occasional daytime, evening and weekend programs and events. Volunteers greet guests, monitor program attendance, help serve refreshments, escort visitors, and perform other duties as needed.
• Teen volunteers
  Volunteers gain valuable work experience as they help staff the Information Desk on Saturdays and during the summer. Teen volunteers also assist staff with education programs during the summer months.
