Volunteer Opportunities The Bolinas Museum owes much of its success to the time and talents of our many volunteers: Board members, docents, event volunteers working on special projects in the collections or history archives, educational projects, or serving as a guest curator when invited. Volunteers help with construction of displays and educational outreach and Perhaps the most rewarding volunteer job is to serve as a docent in the gallery. The morning before each opening of new exhibitions, we hold the docent preview. It is a remarkable opportunity to hear from the exhibiting artists and curators as they talk to our small group about their work, their lives and inspiration. It is always a fascinating experience. The docents then have the insight and information to help enrich the experience of visitors to the exhibitions. Docents work at least one 2½ hour shift per month at the front desk of the museum interacting with our visitors. Staff members are present if they need more information. This is a wonderful way to meet people and make new friends. And the museum hosts a yearly appreciation party for our great volunteers!
If you are interested in becoming a docent or volunteer, please call the museum at 415-868-2006.
