Current Volunteers
Since March 2020, volunteers working onsite have donated nearly 3,000 hours, an equivalent of more than $56,000 in time and skills, to the Burke Museum. Volunteers who have been unable to return to positions due to COVID-19 have continued to support us in new and creative ways.
Thank you for being a part of our community, and for supporting us and each other!

While the museum faces limited visitor and staff capacity due to COVID-19, we are unable to accept new volunteers as our former team members wait to return to their role. If you’d like to be notified once we are able to accept new volunteers, please sign up below!
