Volunteer
Join our vibrant Huntington Volunteer Community!
As a Huntington volunteer, you’ll be vital in sharing our extensive art, library, and botanical collections, engaging exhibitions, and enriching public educational programs. With over 1,000 volunteers working on our campus each year, we’re constantly seeking dynamic, inquisitive individuals eager to contribute to The Huntington’s mission.
We offer training, enrichment, and knowledge-building opportunities to our volunteers throughout the year, in addition to discounts, service awards, and an annual recognition event.
Requirements
- Adult volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of 4 hours of volunteer service per month for 6 months or 1 year, depending on the assignment. Some assignments allow for flexible self-scheduling, while others, like gardening, ask for a weekly 3-hour shift.
- Teen volunteers are asked to commit to a weekly 2-hour assignment for a 4-month term with the potential to participate in additional terms.
