It’s National Volunteer Month and not only is the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) celebrating and recognizing the contributions of their current volunteers, but they are also looking to expand their dedicated volunteer team!
Are you interested in history, art, science or culture? Do you want to give back to your community? The SBCM is currently seeking new volunteers. Volunteers support every department from assisting with visitor services and special events to helping with educational tours and doing research in the archives.
This support is essential to the museum’s ongoing operation. But it’s more than that – the knowledge and expertise of our volunteers enriches and deepens the impact of the museum’s programs, educational field trips and school tours, and events. Volunteers help create memorable experiences for our community and inspire the next generation of San Bernardino County history!
A volunteer can be anyone 15 years of age or older that can commit to a minimum of six hours per month. Many volunteers are high school, college and graduate students, retirees, or curious individuals looking to learn and serve their community.
Volunteer opportunities are available at both the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands and the Victor Valley Museum (VVM) in Apple Valley in the following areas:
- Educational Tours
- Visitor Services
- Special Events
- Collections
- Research Library
- and even Marketing
