Volunteer Program


THE JEWISH MUSEUM VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Volunteers at The Jewish Museum are a dedicated group of individuals representing a wide range of interests and experience. Volunteers are involved in almost every area of The JM's activities, including fine arts, Judaica, education, membership, visitor services, human resources, museum archives, and public programs. Volunteers give one to two days per week to the museum for a minimum of 40 weeks each year.

Volunteers receive numerous benefits. There is a self-governed Volunteer Association which provides educational and social opportunities. In addition, there are special tours of JM exhibitions, collaborations with other cultural institutions, and discounts at JM shops. All volunteers are required to become JM members, and receive those benefits as well.

NOTE: JM volunteer opportunities are limited at this time. Preference will be given to applicants with significant computer skills.
