Anthropology Gallery Interpreter

Gallery Interpreters are an essential part of the Museum experience. They bring the exhibits to life, helping to create lasting impressions of both natural history and current scientific research. In this position, volunteers will engage the curious minds of our visitors, with the thrill of discovery. Specifically, Anthropology Gallery Interpreters will create a positive atmosphere for guest interaction using conversation, demonstrations, specimens or hands-on activities. Volunteers will interact with guests in the First Peoples or Native Voices exhibits, helping visitors discover their own interests and supporting them in exploring those curiosities.

Volunteers may be asked to assist with the training of new Gallery Interpreters. Volunteers will have the opportunity to assist with NHMU Special Event programming as opportunities arise. Gallery Interpreter volunteers must be willing to participate in one-one-one meetings with the coordinator to ensure performance. Volunteers are encouraged to attend NHMU Continuing Education programs for volunteers (see below).
