Volunteer Activities

The Museum of the Albemarle brims with historical treasures from across the Albemarle region. These treasures come to life for thousands of people every year with the help of Junior Docents who host programs and events. Experience the fun of interpreting the past to children and adults by assisting us with gallery monitoring and hands on learning. Help develop educational programs, outreach, and promotional displays. Junior Docents are some of the museum's greatest treasures! Please join us if you are between the ages of 13-17 for our Junior Docent initiative. The opportunity awaits you to meet people, participate in special Junior Docent activities, and learn more about our region and state. Become a Junior Docent and help keep North Carolina's heritage alive.
