The Durham Museum — Volunteer Docent & Visitor Experience Program

About This Opportunity

The Durham Museum — housed in Omaha's stunning historic Union Station — trains volunteer docents and visitor experience staff to bring local, regional, and national history to life for guests. Volunteers facilitate educational programs, guide exhibition areas, assist at the admissions desk and museum shop, and serve as membership ambassadors. Training is provided through printed and digital resources and shadowing with experienced staff. Regular volunteer open houses are held to onboard new cohorts. This is a meaningful pathway for anyone interested in museum careers, public history, archival work, cultural heritage, education, or arts administration.
