About the role

This opportunity is for a volunteer with people skills and a friendly, professional demeanor. The Front Desk volunteer Reception Host should be comfortable greeting visitors, relaying information, and operating a register (training is available). There are weekday, evening, and weekend shifts available. This volunteer may be asked to stand for periods of time, welcoming visitors into the museum and directing them to specific galleries or exhibition spaces. It requires no heavy lifting. Experience in hospitality is preferred but not required.

Please Note: If you are seeking volunteering opportunities for court-ordered community service hours, please include that information in your request along with the contact information of your probation officer.*

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
