The Banning Museum is seeking new volunteers for a variety of programming opportunities and will host two Get to Know Us receptions in September for prospective volunteers.
The Get to Know Us receptions will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12, 2009 in the Museum’s Library in the Barn at 401 East M Street, Wilmington. Reservations are required. Please contact the Museum at (310) 548-7777 to RSVP.
Volunteers at the Banning Museum will attend a training class to gain the background necessary to offer public tours and special group tours of the interior of the Museum, Stagecoach Barn and grounds. Once the training class is completed, the volunteers are able to participate in a full range of Museum programs such as conservation and maintenance of antiques, participating in decorative arts exhibitions, special events, Museum Shop assistance, lecture and discussion committees, volunteer activities, Living History Program and the School Program.
The Museum’s School Program is designed to introduce fourth grade students to local cultural and historical heritage and may require additional training to familiarize new volunteers to the program details.
