Volunteering

Do you like meeting new people?  Love local history? Enjoy researching or sharing stories? If so, you could become part of our amazing team of volunteers.

Volunteering at St Albans Museums is a great way to develop your skills, while supporting us to enhance the experience of our visitors.

Types of volunteering opportunities:

Regular volunteering e.g: schools workshop support

These require a level of regular commitment, set time slots.

Irregular volunteering e.g: family craft activities, visitor surveys

No regular commitment, set time slots.

Flexible volunteering e.g: research, transcribing oral history recordings

No set time slots or commitment, volunteer from home / remotely.

Some opportunities are recruited for regularly (family craft activities, collecting visitor surveys), but others (collections documentation, curatorial, exhibitions) are recruited for occasionally or only once.

At present our only regular weekend onsite volunteering role is visitor surveying.

Current Volunteering Opportunities:

Using objects and photographs can be a great way to spark conversation and encourage social connections.

Through 2026, we will be running monthly object-based reminiscence sessions for adults at St Albans Museum + Gallery and we will be looking for volunteers to support this work. These will take place on the first Thursday of the month (afternoons) from 5th February. 

We are running a relaxed training session on Thursday 8th January for anyone who is interested to come along and find out more. To sign up, click on the link below.
