Volunteers

Almost all museums, no matter how many paid staff they have, rely on volunteers to perform valuable and often essential functions. Candidates for volunteer positions are usually interviewed concerning experience, abilities, and interests. For scheduling, it is important to know when a volunteer is available.

You can use the Volunteer Information Accordion to record a contact's volunteer status, availability, skills and work preferences and emergency contact information. You may also track hours worked and the projects on which a volunteer worked. For more information, see Anatomy of a Contact Record | Volunteer Information.
