Storrowton Village Museum is seeking volunteers for its many programs and events including the 2021 Big E, which takes place September 17 – October 3.
Storrowton volunteers play an essential role in helping the Village share its collections, exhibitions, research and educational programming about 19th century New England with the public. The Village is always on the lookout for dynamic, curious individuals ages 14 and up who want to be a part of the Storrowton team. Each year, more than 100 costumed volunteers donate time to our museum.
Share your knowledge and love of learning with visitors to Storrowton Village Museum. With guidance from staff experts, our volunteers lead tours, offer fun hands-on activities, demonstrate trades and crafts, and more. You’ll meet people of all ages and help create an experience to remember for visitors from modern day New England and beyond.
We invite you to explore our many volunteer opportunities and discover the right one for you:
● Docent Programs
● Education and Outreach Programs
● Blacksmithing
● Cooking & Crafts
● Gardening
Individuals interested in volunteering during the 2021 Big E must apply by August 7. Morning, afternoon and evening shifts will be available, and costumes, parking, and admission will be provided for those shifts, along with a 25% discount in The Shops at Storrowton. All Big E volunteers will be required to attend three training sessions, taking place at 1pm or 6pm on August 18, August 25 and September 8.
Following the Fair, volunteers are invited to continue with us at special monthly events or to help facilitate educational programs. Teen volunteers will be able to earn community service hours and engage in future Teen Leadership Experience program offerings.
