Volunteer Roles

We are actively recruiting for Mansion Facilitators with availability on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends, as well as Retail Assistants with availability on weekday afternoons.

Please fill out an application for any of the roles below.

Love the Turnblad Mansion and want to share its many stories and details with others? Excited to connect more deeply to ASIs rotating exhibitions? Become an ASI Facilitator! Facilitators welcome and host museum visitors, share information, assist with wayfinding, and monitor exhibits. This is a great opportunity for motivated and warm-hearted learners who enjoy history, architecture, art and design, or Nordic culture. Volunteers for this role should feel confident engaging the public and enjoy conversation.  

Have a welcoming smile and passion for ASI? You sound like an admissions volunteer! Admissions volunteers work closely with Visitor Services staff to warmly welcome and serve all guests to the ASI campus. They collect admission fees, hand out brochures and admission tags, and orient visitors to the Mansion and exhibits. Admissions volunteers should feel comfortable working with computers and the public in a fast-paced environment.

 

 

Help make ASI Arts & Culture Programs even more special! Volunteer projects vary but include greeting guests, handing out programs, or hosting crafts and games. Volunteers sign up for shifts based on interest and availability, making this flexible and dynamic role a great low-stakes way to try out volunteering at ASI.

 

Support the learning and connection of children and families at ASI! Volunteers for this role must be comfortable working with preschool- and elementary-age children in a variety of settings. Shifts may include hands-on help teaching simple handcrafts, greeting families, and supporting program staff with interactive activities like dancing, storytelling, or scavenger hunts. Experience in education or child care preferred.
