Join our vibrant Huntington Volunteer Community!
As a Huntington volunteer, you’ll be vital in sharing our extensive art, library, and botanical collections, engaging exhibitions, and enriching public educational programs. With over 1,000 volunteers working on our campus each year, we’re constantly seeking dynamic, inquisitive individuals eager to contribute to The Huntington’s mission.
We offer training, enrichment, and knowledge-building opportunities to our volunteers throughout the year, in addition to discounts, service awards, and an annual recognition event.
