Help us to invite all people to engage with the transformative power of the Bible by volunteering at the museum. There are many different opportunities waiting for you!

Guest Relations

Providing a positive guest experience has a significant impact on museum goers, and Guest Relations Volunteers support this role in various locations throughout the museum, including the Information Desk, the exhibit galleries and the Museum Store. In these front-facing roles, volunteers warmly welcome guests as they start or continue their journey through the museum. This position offers a great opportunity to share information about the museum, exhibitions, interactive experiences, and special programs.

Museum Education

Museum Education volunteers enhance our guests’ experience by inviting people to participate in the Education Department programs in active and creative ways. These roles provide our volunteers with the opportunity to spark guests’ curiosity and facilitate a greater understanding of the exhibits by a hands-on approach. This activity also encourages guests to delve deeper into museum content with special activities such as Dig Deep! and our Education Station.

Docent Program

Docents reach out to our guests and engage with diverse audiences for a more immersive experience at Museum of the Bible. As a docent, you will expand on exhibition themes and make the history, stories, and impact of the Bible more relatable to guests. Docents inspire guest interest and imagination by asking engaging questions and encouraging active participation by each guest during tours. Docents make historical events relevant to our guests and share the immense impact of the Bible throughout the centuries!

Note: The Docent Program requires additional training with the Education Department.

Special Events

Special Events Assistants support the Events Team and engage with guests as the museum hosts various groups and events. In this role, volunteers meet diverse groups of people and enhance the event experience by warmly welcoming them to the museum and offering any assistance they may need. As a Special Events Assistant, you will have the opportunity to create a memorable museum experience for various groups.
