The Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology recognizes the valuable contributions made by volunteers toward its mission of preservation, interpretation, research, and understanding of its collections. It acknowledges the multi-talented individuals of the Bay Area and supports their commitment to share their time, skills, and knowledge in support of the Museum's work. To this end, it advances the following goals:
 To match responsible volunteers with staff members in order to implement the Museum's mission.
To support the efforts of volunteers to contribute and expand their knowledge and skills.
To advance the recognition and support of the Museum through volunteerism.
The Museum accepts volunteers in most aspects of museum work. Volunteers have been placed in departments including exhibitions, education and public programs, conservation, registration, collections management, the photo lab, and research.
All volunteer work is carried out under the direction of a supervising staff member. Written descriptions of volunteer jobs are posted here. We are eager to match each volunteer with a suitable job. However, we cannot always guarantee placement in a particular area or at a particular time. This may mean a waiting period between the time of the volunteer's application and when a project is available.
Although there are many volunteer positions related to projects with ending dates, there are some ongoing tasks, such as data entry and cataloguing. Time commitments for volunteers can vary from 40 hours a week to five hours a month according to a project's requirements. Special events, such as public programs, may require flexible use of a volunteer's times.
Volunteer application forms are available from the Museum's Administrative Office in 103 Kroeber Hall and the Museum Store. Forms should be submitted with resumes when possible. Click here for Volunteer Employment.
