We Need You! Volunteer Today!

The Ulrich is seeking docents and volunteers of all kinds.
Our fun and educational programming, tours, and community events couldn't happen without the support of our amazing volunteers!

Volunteering in the arts offers a wide variety of benefits: a greater understanding of art, pride in helping your local museum, and sharing with others your skills and talents.

We offer many volunteer opportunities:

- Program & Event Assistance
- Community Outreach
- Docents to lead museum tours for adults and youth
- Research
- Visitor Experiences
- Youth Programs
- ASL and Bilingual Gallery Guides
- Scholarship Fundraiser

If you are looking for a way to be involved, and interested in giving back to your community, please fill out and submit the Volunteer Application Form. Have questions? Contact [email protected]. Everyone — including community members, high school students, and college students, are welcome and encouraged to volunteer.

Have you shared your Ulrich memories with us yet?

Our 50th anniversary is right around the corner (in 2024) and we're planning lots of great exhibitions and events to celebrate the Museum's excellence. One thing we are working on is collecting memories from folks who have been connected to the Ulrich over the years. Whether you are a present or past employee, a donor, volunteer, student, or general visitor, we'd love to hear your favorite memories of the Ulrich. We've created this webpage, which has a form on it, to help you share your stories. The memories we collect will be shared throughout our 50th anniversary celebrations and might even end up in a book we're putting together. We'd love to hear your stories.
