Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Museum. We welcome volunteers from ages of 16 to 160 and offer many rewarding opportunities in our various departments. Whether assisting our guests in the Visitor Services department, working in our extensive gardens, or providing information about our exhibits, volunteers are valued members of our world-class institution.
Currently, Mystic Seaport Museum is looking for assistance in the following departments:
- Visitor Services: The first contact our visitors have with the Museum is often our visitor services team. Volunteers in this department work with our staff to provide information about the offerings around the Museum, what they can expect while they are here, and how to navigate our 19-acre campus. Whether you are at one of the information booths at our entrances, our info stations on grounds, or a rover to help people around the village, our visitor services team help to facilitate the best possible time for our visitors and ensure that all the information they need is provided. Visitor Services volunteers are needed year-round.
- Member Lounge: Member Lounge volunteers work in the membership building, creating an open space for Members to come inside and relax away from the weather outside, grab a hot chocolate in winter or a lemonade in the summer, or just put their feet up and take a break from walking around the grounds all day. They also can answer questions from prospective Members and share with them the benefits of membership.
