Volunteer Opportunities
Whether you have an hour or are looking for long-term involvement, we have a role for you.
Collections Care: Members are needed to assist with general care of the Athenæum collections by shelving and cleaning books, typing labels, filing catalog cards, or conducting research and assessments.
Programs and Events: Join a fun bunch of volunteers at our various gatherings to help with set-up, hosting, ticketing, and other activities. A great way to be part of some great events! If you’d rather help with an occasional event or a specific program, such as the Book Sale, Summer Salon Series, or Garden Party and not serve on a committee, please tell us about your interest.
Building and Grounds: Do you love to garden? How about helping out in our beautiful grounds? We always have a need for handyperson help with maintenance of our historic building.
Leadership: Volunteers with leadership and professional experience (communications & marketing, development, finance, law, libraries, education, event planning, design & architecture, project management, technology, etc.) are needed to serve on committees and the board of trustees. These roles have a significant impact and directly contribute to the growth and success of the Salem Athenaeum.
