Join the Ogden Museum for a dynamic and fulfilling volunteer experience. From coat check to docent tours, we rely on volunteers to successfully run the Museum's diverse programs.

Volunteers also play a crucial role in the daily operations of The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, whether it's providing one hour a week or twenty. A variety of volunteer positions are available working with the public and behind the scenes. You are invited to become a part of our volunteer staff and join us in helping others discover the beauty of Southern art and culture. Read the following volunteer opportunity descriptions for more information.
