Volunteer Information
Volunteers are the heart and soul of RAM; they enable the museum to engage our visitors in exciting and enriching programs and services. The Riverside Art Museum offers our volunteers dynamic and engaging opportunities, including: greeting and orientating visitors, being on hand to answer questions about exhibitions and programs, and serving refreshments and food. Volunteers help plan, coordinate, set-up, and staff events both at the museum and off-site. In addition, volunteers assist staff with mailings, filing, answering phones, and other clerical needs.
Prospective volunteers should be passionate about art, enjoy interacting with the public and be able to make a six-month commitment to a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. Have special skills you'd like to share with us? Let us know. Required orientation provided by RAM.
