Volunteering is a fulfilling way to meet new people, motivate lifelong learning, and support an organization you find meaningful. Volunteers play a vital role by lending their time and talents and are central to the ASI experience. A variety of flexible opportunities are available year round, offering ways to connect with others, spark your curiosity, and share common interests.
ASI’s work would not be possible without the support of a dedicated cohort of skilled volunteers. To show our gratitude, ASI is pleased to offer a number of volunteer benefits.
Active volunteers receive a 20% discount in the Museum Store (excluding sale items) and two guest passes annually to share with loved ones.
Complimentary coffee and treats from FIKA Café are offered during scheduled volunteer shifts.
Volunteers receive invitations to participate in field trips, exclusive lectures and educational events, training sessions, and other social get togethers throughout the year.
Volunteers who contribute 30+ service hours are recognized at an annual appreciation event.
Love the Turnblad Mansion and want to share its many stories and details with others? Excited to connect more deeply to ASI’s rotating exhibitions? Become an ASI Facilitator!

Shifts Available: One per month Thursday through Sunday, 10 am–1 pm
