Volunteering

Do you like meeting new people?  Love local history? Enjoy researching or sharing stories?

If so, you could become part of our amazing team of volunteers.

Volunteering at St Albans Museums is a great way to develop your skills, while supporting us to enhance the experience of our visitors.

Some opportunities are recruited for regularly (family craft activities, collecting visitor surveys), but others (collections documentation, exhibitions) are recruited for occasionally or only once.

At present our curatorial / collection volunteer roles are full. 

Types of opportunities we offer:

Regular volunteering e.g: schools workshop support

These require a level of regular commitment, set time slots.

Irregular volunteering e.g: family craft activities, visitor surveys

No regular commitment, set time slots.

Flexible volunteering e.g: research, transcribing oral history recordings

No set time slots or commitment, volunteer from home / remotely.
