Can people under the age of 18 volunteer?

Yes! The AMA accepts volunteers of ages 16 and older.

Do I have to have previous museum experience before volunteering?

The short answer: No! The skills and experience you need to volunteer can be taught here. Volunteering at the AMA is actually a fantastic way to get museum experience. We love getting to watch your knowledge of museums and art grow through your volunteering, no matter how much or little you know.

Is there a time commitment?

No, we appreciate your volunteerism in whatever way works for you! However, we do prefer our volunteers serve at least one shift per month in order to be familiar with our museum and exhibits.

Where do you need volunteers?

We need volunteers everywhere! We mostly need consistency so anywhere you can show up on a regular basis is where you're most needed. 

Who do I contact for questions, concerns, etc?

You can reach out to our Director of Visitor Experience, Shelby, for additional information at shelby@arlingtonmuseum.org .
