Volunteer Opportunities

As a private non-profit organization, the Texas Forestry Museum relies on the help and support of volunteers to accomplish the museum's mission. Each year, the museums 200+ volunteers contribute over 1,000 hours of service. Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Individuals and groups assist with curatorial and collections projects, education events, fund raisers, routine maintenance, clerical duties, give guided tours, and a whole host of other projects that benefit the museum and its visitors. Please contact the museum if you are interested in joining our volunteer team.
