Volunteer

We rely on all kinds of volunteer support. Volunteers contribute and enjoy working in areas of public programming, marketing, curatorial, library, education, visitor services and maintenance of our buildings and grounds.

• Fulfill community service or service learning.

• Use volunteering as a resume builder.

• Stay active and make new friends during retirement.

• Learn and tell the stories of Dunn County.

 

What do volunteers do?

• Exhibits (design, fabrication).

How much of a commitment is required?

Active volunteers are needed on a regular basis as well as a pool of helpers we can call for back-up and occasional help. Work tasks are scheduled based on our needs and around individual interests and skills. Some assignments are ongoing and others are scheduled one-time or short term.
