Got free time? We need volunteers!

Volunteers are vital to the Museum's success. Involving volunteers helps us stretch our budget and accomplish things we would otherwise be unable to do. Their unique and diverse skills help us provide the best possible service to our community.

Volunteers receive an individual museum membership after providing 30 service hours and gain personal satisfaction by partnering with the Museum and its staff.

Volunteers share their skills with us, make new friends, learn more about Idaho's natural and cultural heritage, and may even enhance their resume.

• Educational Docents (year-long commitment) - provide interpretation for all ages in the Main Gallery and recently remodeled Discovery Room. Adults of all abilities and backgrounds welcome. Excellent 36-hour training program available.

• Curatorial Assistant (variable commitment) - To identify, label, and catalog (to include electronic data entry) as well as appropriately store archaeological objects.
