Harvard Museums of Science and Culture Volunteer

HMSC volunteers play a critical role in supporting museum visitors and public events. The museums welcome people with various language skills, interests, and levels of education to apply as volunteers. The minimum age for acceptance into the volunteer program is 16. Our volunteers have diverse backgrounds with different skills and interests. Volunteers provide critical support for the visitor experience, whether it be welcoming guests, engaging visitors with hands-on activities, or participating in HMSC festivals and programs.

Please note, HMSC volunteers do not work with collections or behind-the-scenes with the research museums. How to Apply
