Get Involved
The Manchester Museum is committed to working with volunteers.
It recognises that the volunteer programme is an essential part of its service and that volunteers:
- Bring fresh enthusiasm and motivation to a variety of roles and projects
- Contribute to the goals, aims and objectives of its work
- Complement the skills of paid staff
- Bring new perspectives into the organisation
- Help it to build links with local communities
- Provide opportunities for staff to develop new skills
- Enable it to fulfil its corporate and social responsibility
It is our aim to work with volunteers from areas local to the Museum and with student volunteers providing an outlet for new skills and perspectives and offering development and learning opportunities.
Volunteers contribute to the Museum in different ways. The roles available vary from Education based work supporting visiting schools and education staff, to cataloguing the collections in each of the collections areas, to visitor engagement roles at object handling stations, outreach events and Public Programmes.
