Family Festival & Community Event Volunteer
The Walters Art Museum seeks energetic volunteers to serve as greeters during our family festivals and community events. These events are held several times throughout the year on select Saturdays and Sundays and often attract 1000-1500 visitors. Volunteers will be posted at entrances and throughout the museum to greet visitors, answer questions, and assist with any other needs. Family Festival and Community Event Volunteers will be the face of the museum and will contribute greatly to the overall museum experience for visitors.
