Volunteer at Campus Martius Museum
Volunteers play a huge part in preserving history at Campus Martius and Ohio River Museums. Whether you enjoy educating visitors on our local heritage or impacting the minds of our youth, Campus Martius and the Ohio River Museums have a place for you!
Each year, we educate about 3,000 students on average. We offer them a variety of programs that are tailored to the educational needs of the group. The majority of this happens within just a few months!
However, none of that would be possible without our incredible staff of dedicated volunteers! With giving just a few hours of your time, you can help transform the way our pupils view the world and truly make a difference! If you have a love for our region’s heritage, consider joining our team!
You don’t have to be an expert to lead activities. You bring the enthusiasm; we’ll provide you with thorough information and the opportunity to work with experienced volunteers and staff.
