Museum Helper Volunteer Opportunities at Collin County History Museum (Spring 2025)

Are you passionate about history and eager to share it with others? The Collin County History Museum needs your help!

The Collin County History Museum is now in need of volunteers to work the front desk and attend to our galleries during opening hours. We welcome visitors on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm, and we're particularly in need of assistance on Thursdays and Fridays. However, we appreciate help on any of these days!

Our volunteer shifts are 3 hours long either from 10am to 1pm or from 1pm to 4pm. We're looking for enthusiastic individuals who can commit to taking one or more of these shifts on a weekly or monthly basis.

How to Sign Up:Simply respond to your preferred shift(s). Once registered, we expect volunteers to arrive at our location at 300 E Virginia Street, McKinney, on the selected day and time.

As a front desk volunteer/museum helper, your responsibilities will include:

• greeting museum guests
• helping them sign in
• providing general information about our programs and exhibitions
• ushering guests in and out of our video exhibit
• answering visitor questions
• general cleaning up

This position would be a great addition to a student's resume who is interested in working in museums in the future, and the volunteer will likely have time to work on schoolwork or personal projects between helping visitors. Of course, we are also glad to sign for volunteer hours!

Join us in preserving and sharing the rich history of Collin County!
