Regular opportunities with visitors
Some volunteers are part of a specific team and help more regularly (daytime: weekly, fortnightly, or monthly), e.g. delivering tours, running object handling, engaging families, and assisting at the welcome desk.
Great communication skills are key to this type of volunteering, which is all about sharing a love for a particular museum and inspiring others!
These opportunities are advertised and recruited for as and when teams need topping-up – often just once or twice a year. Because of the extra training involved, the anticipated commitment is generally greater and there may be more competition to join in.
