Centennial Summer Volunteers Needed
for the Arizona Capitol Museum
The Arizona Capitol Museum needs your help. Join our 2012 Centennial Summer Volunteer Team and help visitors enjoy Arizona's Capitol.
You'll engage with Arizona's history in the building where statehood began, and get to see behind the scenes as we prepare new exhibits, and update our story.
The Centennial Summer Volunteer Team will monitor exhibit traffic and provide directional assistance to enhance the visitor experience.
Trainees will get a chance to sample other assignments in the Museum such as Ambassadors, Store Assistants, and help with our summer organization project.
We ask for a minimum of one four-hour (10am to 2pm) commitment per week from June through September 2012. These positions are not tour guides or docents. This is basic training that lays the groundwork for more involvement in the Fall.
We at the Arizona Capitol Museum connect people with Arizona's government – past and present.
Join us for the summer and you'll become an integral part of the visitor experience. Immerse yourself in history and learn how Arizona government has evolved from territorial times to statehood. Meet visitors from across the country and all over the globe. Work alongside Museum Staff as they guide tours through the Capitol.
Apply now for this special program running from June through September 2012. Applications will be accepted until May 18th and Interviews are being scheduled now. Once accepted, Summer Volunteers will begin training the second week of June.
Other Volunteer Positions:
Store Assistants
