Volunteer Outreach Day

Have a blast in past!
Volunteering at the Museums is a great way to give back to the community–and have a lot of fun doing it. At this special event, you’ll meet the Museums’ staff and volunteers, tour every building on campus, visit the Whaling Wives Gift Shop for a special 20% discount, and learn about all the volunteer opportunities there are throughout the year. You don’t have to “do it all.” Do what you’ll enjoy!
