Volunteer

If you like working with people and have an interest in history, consider volunteering your time at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum and Historical Society of Palm Beach County. The museum has ongoing need for volunteers with opportunities as a Docent, Museum Store Assistant, or Front Desk Greeter, and at Special Events.

After completing a training program held once a year, docents interact with visitors and lead tours. Most volunteer positions require a regular schedule of about six hours per week.

If you enjoy working with historical materials and have an interest in preserving the past, consider volunteering your time in our archives. In addition to our structured archival internship program for undergraduate and graduate students, we welcome non-student adults who are eager to learn about archival practices and can commit to a regular schedule for a minimum of three months.

Because the museum is within a county-owned building, all volunteers and staff are vetted and fingerprinted by the county.
