Become a Volunteer

Volunteers are an important part of the Museum whānau

Volunteering at Nelson Provincial Museum can be a valuable way to get work experience, develop interests and share skills within a museum environment. We welcome volunteers in many areas of our operations and are always looking for all types of skills and experiences.

We want our volunteers to have a rewarding and enjoyable time working at Nelson Provincial Museum so the interests and skills of all applicants are carefully matched with suitable volunteer vacancies. Applicants should be aware that after registering their interest with us, there may be a wait for an appropriate role to become available.

Priority is given to volunteers who are making a long term commitment to volunteering, and all applicants must be prepared to accept a police check of their background. Before you apply for a position, please think carefully about your reasons for volunteering, and also how it will fit in with your other commitments.

Nelson Provincial Museum currently have eight volunteers who contributed more than 1,400 hours of collection and research support in our last financial year!
