Volunteer Program

Volunteering at the National Constitution Center is a great way to get involved in your community while learning more about our nation and its rich history. By contributing your time and knowledge, you can learn something new, share what you already know, meet new people, and have fun!

Volunteers:

• Greet our visitors and assist them in finding their way
• Work in exhibit areas
• Assist with hands-on learning opportunities
• Work at special events

When can I help?

Volunteer opportunities are available seven days a week between 9:00AM and 5:00PM. Volunteers may work mornings, afternoons, or a full day, but must commit to a minimum of four hours each time they volunteer, and volunteer at least one day per week. Special Event volunteers must sign up for at least 3 events per year in order to remain active.
