Prospective Volunteers

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Denver Art Museum.  We have more than 450 enthusiastic volunteers presently serving at the museum.  We are not currently adding any new volunteers.  However, we will assess our volunteer needs in May 2012 and will be having a Volunteer Recruitment Open House on May 19 from 10:30 to 12:30, when we intend to add new guest services volunteers.  The Denver Art Museum places new volunteers on an as-needed basis and reserves the right to decline volunteer placement. 

Guest Services Council

Guest Services Council volunteers serve on the front lines of the museum, providing current information and great customer service to museum visitors. They enthusiastically assist and engage visitors with information on exhibitions, tours, membership, family activities, way finding, and museum programs. The guest services commitment requires two shifts per month on a flexible or fixed schedule for one year and museum membership.  We will be looking for very friendly, personable individuals who love working with the public.   If this sounds like a good fit for you, please click on the following online application form to fill out the volunteer application.  You will be contacted within one week with an invitation to our next Volunteer Recruitment Open House. Our age requirement for prospective volunteers is 18 years old.

Education Council (Docent /Tour Guide Program)

If you are interested in being a tour guide/docent, our education department will begin actively recruiting for the provisional docent class in the fall of 2012 and will begin interviewing in spring of 2013. Those who are chosen for the class will train from September 2013 through June 2014 and will be required to make a three-year commitment at that time. When you fill out the online application, please specify if you want to be put on the Education Council wait list only and you will be contacted this fall; otherwise, we will contact you within one week.

Internships

The DAM takes on a limited number of unpaid interns each year. Please see our jobs and internships listings for current internship opportunities.  Interns are not placed through the volunteer services department.
