Visitor Services Volunteer Program
Are you a people person? Are you looking for a new experience that is both exciting and fun? We are seeking friendly and enthusiastic people (16 years or older) to become part of our dynamic volunteer team.
What is Visitor Services?
Visitor Services (VS) Volunteers are a readily accessible source of information -- with a personal touch -- for every visitor at the National Air and Space Museum. The VS mission is to ensure that each visitor’s experience at the museum is enjoyable. VS Volunteers answer questions, give directions, and otherwise equip visitors with knowledge about the museum through direct and personal interaction.
Please Note: Volunteer appointment for applicants 18 years and older will be subject to the applicant's successful completion of a pre-appointment background check and subsequent background investigation.
