Volunteer
Devoted, caring volunteers bring the High Desert Museum to life.
Join a volunteer family who shares a passionate interest in the wildlife, culture and history of the High Desert. Volunteers help the Museum in a variety of ways and, in the process, gain a sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction.
Here’s what some of our volunteers are saying:
- “We’re so proud to be associated with such a high quality attraction.”
- “All of the people you work with are just great!”
- “Sharing the history of the West is meaningful to me.”
- “It’s just plain fun!”
- “You can’t help but learn about new and different things on every visit.”
New Volunteer Orientations occur once a month September through May. Check back in August for the next Orientation or email Kristen Campbell kcampbell@highdesertmuseum.org to be put on the notification list.
New Volunteer recruitment and onboarding is on hold until September 2024.
Silver Sage Trading Display Volunteers support store staff and visitor experiences by refilling the existing merchandise displays, replacing items moved by visitors, performing general cleaning tasks, and making note of any items the store is running low on. This opportunity would be a great fit for someone who is detail-oriented and enjoys interacting with visitors. This position requires frequent trips up and down stairs, as well as carrying items around the store. Display volunteers must be flexible and creative – displays in Silver Sage aren’t static! |
*All Teen Volunteer positions are filled for 2024. Please check back in March 2025 for new opportunities*
