About
The Marietta History Center (MHC) is looking for ongoing volunteers to help in our Museum Store and galleries.
How do volunteers help MHC? Volunteers allow us to keep our doors open to the public and staff to work behind the scenes. How does volunteering for MHC help YOU? Volunteering at MHC gives you the opportunity to interact with many people from all demographics, work closely with staff on a daily basis with the potential to help with events and programming, and learn about your local community.
Our hours of operation are Tuesday - Saturday 10am to 4pm.
Details for Student Volunteers:
- Volunteers must contact MHC via email to schedule a volunteer interview at: VolunteerMMH@gmail.com.
- All volunteers are required to attend an informal in-person interview and training before shifts can be scheduled.
- All shifts are three hours in duration, Tuesday-Saturday, at 10am-1pm and 1pm-4pm.
- "Double" shifts are not allowed.
- Students are expected to volunteer once a week for at least 1(one) semester including at least one Pop-In event every 3rd Saturday, but may not volunteer more than twice in one week.
- Students must come to their interview prepared to schedule all their required shifts for the semester (15 hours=5 shifts).
- Students who are tarty to, no show, or call out of a shift can request to schedule up to one makeup shift and must complete the entire 3-hour shift (even if that exceeds their required hours).
- Shifts are available on a first come, first served basis, and MHC cannot guarantee shifts. Failure on behalf of a student to plan appropriately may result in incomplete hours.
- Students must be at least 16 to volunteer.
- MHC stops being able to hold interviews or accept requests to volunteer for credit 14 days before the hours are due for submission each semester. There are no exceptions.
***The MHC Volunteer Coordinator is in office for correspondence Wednesdays-Saturdays. Communications received outside of this timeframe will be responded to when the MHC Volunteer Coordinator is back in office.***
