The GLAM Volunteer Service aims to widen access, increase depth of participation, and promote diversity, equality, and social outcomes through its volunteering opportunities.
It's about working in a mutually beneficial way with volunteers to make the most of their talents, knowledge, experience, and interests, whilst also acknowledging the positive contributions they make to our visitors and collections.
Each year, the Volunteer Service coordinates a large pool of volunteers who help in public-facing and behind-the-scenes roles at the:
- Ashmolean
- Bate Collection of Musical Instruments
- Botanic Garden and Harcourt Arboretum
- History of Science Museum
- Museum of Natural History
- Pitt Rivers Museum
- Weston Library
We are very grateful to our volunteers and hope that they enjoy sharing their enthusiasm, building their confidence, and developing their skills in an inspiring, supportive environment.
