Volunteering at SVMA
SVMA has nearly 200 volunteers who contribute to the museum in a
variety of ways. Volunteers welcome visitors, prepare and promote
exhibitions, raise funds, and help manage the facility and its
activities by serving on the board of directors and advisory council. Opportunities also exist to help with special events throughout the year.
Front Desk Volunteers
SVMA seeks volunteers to staff the front desk, in order to monitor the galleries, collect admission and merchandise fees, as well as record attendance figures.
Back Office Volunteers
SVMA seeks an outstanding organizer to catalog and organize the Museum archives of CDs/DVDs/printed material.
Photographer/Videographer Volunteer
SVMA seeks an experienced photographer and/or videographer to record Museum events.
Docents
Docents have unique opportunities to interact with local artists and to learn about art and art history. They participate in a special training program, make a two-year commitment to the museum, and receive briefings from exhibiting artists to aid in answering visitor questions. SVMA works with La Luz Center to recruit and train bilingual, Spanish-speaking guides.
