Our volunteers are vital in supporting the Museum's work. Sign up to our volunteering mailing list to be notified when opportunities become available.
More than 500 people donate their time to engage visitors in our galleries and support our scientists and collections. Our volunteering, internship and work experience programmes are designed to inspire and benefit those taking part as much as they support the Museum. All opportunities have flexible commitment requirements and aim to provide a rewarding and enriching experience for all.
The Museum wants to help individuals develop new skills through volunteering, improving their career prospects and developing the vision of a future where both people and the planet thrive. We aim to engage the widest possible audience and involve volunteers in our mission in creating advocates for the planet. Volunteers in turn make a real difference to the Museum, investing their time, energy and talent in us
Update February 2025: We have a high volume of interest in all our volunteer roles so we continue to actively investigate opportunities that we may be able to offer. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a placement within a specified timeframe which is why our mailing list will be closing. Any opportunities at the Natural History Museum at both South Kensington and Tring will be shown here when available.
