Currently there are over 200 active Museum volunteers. Our volunteer
docents give free lectures to the public on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday and by appointment to school groups, the
handicapped, senior citizens, minority groups and special interest
groups.
The volunteers, other than the docents, serve the Museum in a
myriad of ways. It is they who greet the public at the front desk,
in the Museum's book shop and gift shop, help with mailings, telephones
and general office work for the various departments.
In addition, our volunteer staff includes interns who receive
credit from their individual universities for their work at the
Museum.
Volunteers enjoy many benefits, including discounts on lectures
and special events, discounts in the Museum shops, holiday parties
and the opportunity to meet and make new friends.
Anyone interested in volunteering should call (516) 484-9338
ext 31.
