If you’re a friendly, helpful person who would enjoy helping visitors and you’ve got a knack for communicating clearly, we would love to hear from you. You’ll receive full workshop-based training to make sure you’re skilled to field questions and provide helpful information to Museum visitors.
We ask for a commitment of approximately one half-day shift per week or per fortnight, typically on Saturday or Sunday. We would love to hear from you if you have availability on Fridays and/or Mondays also. We are seeking people who are able to make a genuine, long-lasting commitment to being an Auckland Museum volunteer.
Here’s your chance to help shape the experience people from Auckland, the rest of New Zealand and the rest of the world have at Auckland Museum.
