Volunteer opportunities now available at The Box

Would you like to volunteer at The Box? The city’s brand new museum, art gallery and archive is set to open in the spring and people are being invited to get involved.

Volunteering is a great way to contribute to something you’re passionate about and gain industry experience. Three different volunteer opportunities are currently available, all of which involve providing support to The Box’s visitor facing teams.

Gallery Guides will be based in The Box’s galleries, helping visitors to interpret the exhibitions and collections on display and find their way around the building.

Archives and Research Support Volunteers will assist visitors with their research enquiries, including helping them to access the reference library and online collections database.

Learning Volunteers will provide support to The Box’s programme of school workshops and family activities.

Full training will be given for all the roles and shifts will be flexible across the seven day week.

Anyone who would like to find out more is asked to subscribe to The Box’s mailing list by visiting www.theboxplymouth.com, submitting their email address in the newsletter sign up button at the bottom of the page and selecting ‘Volunteer News’ as one of their preferences.

They are also welcome to attend one of two free information sessions that are taking place at Sherwell United Church, North Hill at 1pm and 5.30pm on Tuesday 14 January.

If you have any other queries about volunteering you can email them to theboxvolunteering@plymouth.gov.uk
