Volunteer
The Public Health Museum’s Volunteer Program provides a great opportunity for a person to donate their time and expertise to a local non-profit organization. Without the support and time of volunteers, the Public Health Museum would not be able to provide its guided tours or host special events.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please fill out an application. Questions may be emailed to volunteers@publichealthmuseum.org
