Volunteer

We're always looking for a few good volunteers

Do you have a fascination for flight, and enjoy meeting and working with like-minded people from around the world? From tour guides to help in our aircraft restoration facility, the Museum is always looking for volunteers. Our policy is to try and match volunteers with their specific interest whenever possible.

The volunteer program is open to all qualified individuals with an interest in preserving the history of flight and a commitment to the Museum and its goals.
