Volunteer

Volunteers make a difference. Through the dedication and commitment of our volunteers, the Delta Museum and Archives is able to offer many programs that otherwise would not be possible. Are you interested in local First Nations culture, local history or multiculturalism? Do you enjoy meeting others with similar interests? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then consider joining our team at the Delta Museum and Archives and help make history come alive! 

No experience is required as the Museum will provide you with all the training you need. Please complete a Volunteer Form, submit one copy electronically to programs@deltamuseum.ca and then print off a second copy for your interview. To submit an electronic form, please save your form to your desktop and then attach the form in an email.

Please volunteer to assist in the area(s) that suits your interests and schedule. Below are just some areas that may be of interest.
