Our volunteers lead art activities at our Family Day, set-up and assist with workshops, programs, and events, and serve as representatives of the museum.
Volunteers are recruited from our FIU campus and community. High school students are welcomed during the summer. Applications are accepted in August and in January of each year. All volunteers must submit a volunteer form, background check, digital fingerprinting and participate in an interview.
Application Periods: Every August and January.
