    Volunteer with MOHAI during the Freedom Plane: Documents that Forged a Nation exhibit

    https://mohai.org/exhibits/freedom-plane-national-tour-documents-that-forged-a-nation/

    This summer, the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) is proud to host the Freedom Plane National Tour—a rare opportunity to experience original founding-era documents from the National Archives.

    As the final stop on the national tour, and the only Pacific Northwest venue, this exhibit offers a truly unique moment for our community to connect with the ideas, struggles, and stories that shaped the United States.

    We’re looking for enthusiastic, welcoming volunteers to help bring this experience to life.

    Why Volunteer?

    • Be part of a once-in-a-lifetime exhibit in Seattle
    • Help visitors engage with powerful moments in American history
    • Support a vibrant, community-centered museum experience
    • Connect with others who share an interest in history and storytelling

    Volunteer Opportunities May Include:

    • Greeting and welcoming visitors
    • Assisting with wayfinding and crowd flow
    • Supporting guest engagement in gallery spaces
    • Helping create a positive, memorable visitor experience
