We have ample opportunities for volunteering. For most volunteer opportunities, please contact Alice, our volunteer coordinator, at (480) 835-7358, or volunteers@mesahistoricalmuseum.org .
Docents: Want to learn more about Mesa's History? Be a docent!!! Docents are guides that help visitors learn about the museum and Mesa's past. Training to be a docent is easy and fun! There are no lengthy requirements, just a few hours a month will enable you to help others appreciate the past. Become a Mesa Historical Museum Docent today!
Cataloging Assistants: One of our current projects involves creating accurate records for all of our artifacts, pictures, and documents. Volunteering in this area requires only light paperwork but will give you the opportunity to interact with real objects under the supervision of our collections manager.
General Volunteering: Not interested in being a guide or a cataloging assistant but still want to volunteer? No problem, we have many opportunities for volunteers other than giving tours. We can work with your schedule, interests, and talents.
Youth Volunteers: We accept youth volunteers working towards service hours for National Honor Society, high school diploma honors, etc. Teens usually help at the front desk and/or with special events.

Special Events or Projects: We can accommodate more sporadic volunteers, particularly to help out with special events (such as the Historic Home Tour), or special, irregular projects (Spring grounds cleanup, Collections work days, etc.).
