Volunteer Opportunities

The Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit educational organization. The Museum relies on donations, membership support and volunteers to carry out its mission.

Volunteers play an extremely important role in the operation of the Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida and its programs. Our Volunteers directly augment the paid staff by providing quality service to our visitors, not only while working in the Museum itself, but also in our community through the knowledge and expertise they develop. This helps us with our Mission by Promoting Tolerance and Understanding by Teaching the History and Lessons of the Holocaust.

Join a dynamic committed group of people who are interested in teaching the lessons on the Holocaust. The Holocaust Museum of Southwest Florida is in need of volunteers. The Museum would like to significantly expand this dedicated group of individuals who donate their services and time. Currently we are looking for people to become Docents/Tour Guides. This group receives training by knowledgeable individuals and will become qualified to lead tours of the Museum. If you are interested in becoming a Docent we will be starting our training sessions soon.

We also are in need of volunteers who may have talents in other areas such exhibits, events planning, writing grants, office work, computer technology, or just plain envelope stuffing.
