Volunteering at the Academy
Volunteers have been integral to the success of the Academy for almost 200 years. Almost 400 volunteers, from ages 14 to 80+, contribute their time each year toward our mission. Dedicated volunteers assist visitors throughout the museum's exhibit spaces and provide critical support behind the scenes in research departments and offices.
