Volunteer for your local Museum!

Volunteering gives you the opportunity to share your passion for natural history and science with today’s students and tomorrow’s scientists in a dynamic, ever-changing setting. Whether your interests are in computer science, astronomy, or natural history, we have a need for your assistance! 

Since the Museum’s founding, our volunteers have contributed in many ways—working on the museum floor, supporting behind-the-scenes efforts, and connecting with the broader community through groups like our Friends of Paleontology (nmfriendsofpaleo@gmail.com).

Besides personal satisfaction and rewarding life experiences, volunteer benefits include free admission, discounts at the NatureWorks gift store, social activities, and special volunteer-only events.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us at volunteer.nhm@dca.nm.gov for more information on how to get involved.
