Volunteers are needed in many capacities. Some examples of posts are greeting visitors and offering directions at the entrances, assisting visitors in the studios with drop-in art activities, lending a hand with public art projects, offering surveys to visitors prior to leaving, and more. Detailed duties for each role are found within event postings on Volunteer Hub.

Buffalo AKG volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and interests and are united by their passion for art and people. Anyone 16 years of age and older are welcome to apply, including students needing to complete community service hours for school.  

New volunteers are accepted on a rolling basis, and orientations are held regularly. After attending orientation and agreeing to program policies, volunteers create and manage their own schedules through the Buffalo AKG Volunteer Hub website.  

Although we would love to see each volunteer at the museum often, there is no minimum requirement for hours. Opportunities vary and are offered during museum operating hours on weekdays and weekends. In gratitude for the time given over the course of each year, volunteers become eligible to earn museum membership and the benefits that come with it.
