Museum Volunteers

Volunteer Opportunities

The Campbell Historical Museum and Ainsley House offer many opportunities for volunteers. Individuals interested in history, decorative arts, historic gardens, or historic preservation will find volunteering an exciting way to help the museum and meet new like-minded individuals.

DOCENTS

After completing training, docents give tours of the Ainsley House during our public hours and occasionally for special groups and events. These tours share information about life in Campbell in the 1920s and 1930s, the biography of the Ainsley family, and details about the house and its contents. Docents serve as one of the many faces of the museum and greet and host the museum's guests. Docents must commit to two four-hour shifts each month.

Ainsley House / Carriage House Greeter

A Greeter at the Ainsley House welcomes visitors inside the Carriage House, processes admissions and store purchases, and assists with tours. They set up and close the space, including managing the Square payment system and cash register. Greeters also engage guests with exhibits, start the orientation video, and coordinate with docents for tours.
