Overview Our History Who We Are Employment volunteer Oppertunities Press Room

Join the Zeum volunteer team and work alongside other talented, like-minded individuals to help deliver a fun, hands-on experience for kids and families! As a volunteer, you’ll go behind the scenes of San Francisco’s innovative arts & technology museum to assist the Zeum staff in various departments. Remember, you don't have to be an expert in art and technology; we use Volunteers with different backgrounds and skill levels!

Zeum's Volunteer Positions vary depending on current exhibitions and programs. You can always start out in one position or assignment and change when appropriate. All Volunteer Positions are unpaid and we only accept volunteers who are age 14 and older.

Current Volunteer Opportunities:

School Field Trips Volunteer

This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to work alongside a Zeum Educator and help deliver an amazing field trip experience for school groups. We offer Clay Animation, News Broadcast, Music Video, and Video Blog field trips during the school year. Please visit www.zeum.org/education/index.html to get more information about each field trip. As a volunteer, you will assist the Zeum Educator in helping to prepare and facilitate the field trip as well as help teach kids the art, performance, technology, and music skills they will need to become the next generation of creative leaders and innovators.

Weekend Workshops Volunteer

If you love arts and crafts, or simply enjoy working in a studio and workshop environment, this volunteer position is for you! During the weekends we offer various creative and fun art, music, and craft workshops for our visitors. A Zeum Educator or a Visiting Artist often leads them, but if you have a creative workshop idea YOU can lead them as well! Otherwise you will be assisting them and helping children and families create something they will be excited to take home. Check out http://www.zeum.org/education/weekendWorkshops.html for descriptions of upcoming workshops.

Visitor Resource Volunteer

This is a great opportunity to experience and learn the important "behind-the-scenes" workings of a museum and non-profit organization. You will participate and assist in administrative projects - some fun, some simple, but all invaluable! From greeting new visitors to spicing up a document, you will be the jack-of-all-trades!

Exhibits and Technology Volunteer If those words alone bring tingles and excitement, then come on board!! Our interactive multimedia art and technology exhibits are what make Zeum so unique from other museums! Get ready to be part of a talented team and help with exhibit maintenance, installations, and tech support. You will also have opportunities to work on your own creative projects and ideas!

Hands-for-Zeum

We also have "Hands-for-Zeum," which include short-term opportunities for individuals, groups, and families. "Hands-for-Zeum" is a flexible opportunity for volunteers who cannot make an ongoing commitment but want to help in any way they can. Tasks include preparing supplies and helping with mailings and simple administrative needs. It is also a great opportunity for students to gain volunteer hours.
