Become A Volunteer
I have done a lot of volunteering in my lifetime, and this is by far the best volunteer program I have been privy to.
Do you enjoy history, art, nature, gardening, or engaging with your local community? Join a group of passionate people getting involved at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site!
We are currently looking for volunteers to join our Visitor Engagement Team but welcome all volunteer inquiries to share your talents. No art history or museum experience is required. As a volunteer, you will receive special training about the site’s history and museum operations, receive free admission to special programs and events, and earn a complimentary membership.
Please fill out this form, and we’ll reach out for a conversation with you to go over details and availability. If you have any other questions, please email us at education@thomascole.org. We can’t wait to meet you!
To be amongst great art and interesting people every day you’re here is incredible. There are all kinds of opportunities. It’s really a national treasure right here in our backyard.
The value to volunteers is beyond anything I have ever experienced.
The volunteer experience here has been great. Everyone is very supportive.
Anyone who is interested can do this.
