About Us > Volunteering > Special Opportunities

Something new and different is always happening at the Indiana State Museum ... and we need volunteer assistance! We have fantastic events year round. Event volunteers help set up, decorate, host educational activities and host our guests. These special opportunities feature top–notch entertainment and educational content. Most events are held in the evenings and weekends. If you like to have fun, meet people, work with children and help others enjoy a special day, our events are perfect opportunities for you.
