Volunteer Opportunities


The South Carolina State Museum depends on strong volunteer partnerships to carry out its work. Volunteer to share your knowledge, to learn, to meet new people and to have fun.

What do you like to do?

We have opportunities in these areas:

Visitor Services – welcome visitors and acquaint them with the museum

Education
– become a docent and help explain exhibits and teach programs

Clerical – help in one of the museum’s offices

Behind-the-Scenes
– help our research staff

Cotton Mill Exchange – assist visitors in the museum store

There are so many choices. How can I decide?
Due to the variety of volunteer opportunities available at the museum, each prospective volunteer will be interviewed individually.

What about training?
Training is free and is provided by museum staff.

Is there an age requirement?
You must be at least 18 years old to volunteer.

I have some questions. Who can help me?
Should you have questions about the service areas or training, please call Jeff Powley at (803) 898-4912 or Email:volunteer@museum.state.sc.us
