[BCMA] Volunteers Wanted

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello my dear fellows,

POMO Museum is looking for a 'roster' of volunteer docents for the season. We currently have a wonderful weekend Assistant and a full time member of staff in on Sundays however, we are looking for Saturday coverage with our Assistant. As you no doubt agree, we don't ever want anyone working here on their own but funding is such that we cannot regularly have two members of staff on site on Saturdays.

Therefore we are looking for Docents of all ages and abilities to commit to 1+ shift of 2+ hours per month on Saturdays. We are open 12-4 so ideally we would have 1-2 docents a Saturday. Our birthday programs also run on weekends so someone comfortable working with children is a huge bonus.

I have copied our volunteer call out below, but here is a link:https://www.pomo.museum/job-posting

If you know of anyone please send them our way.

Call Out:
Volunteer Docent
2-4 hours a shift (flexible)
1+ shift a week is ideal but can be less
