We have volunteer opportunities to fit every interest and schedule. From preparing Christmas decorations to guiding tours to working in the gardens, there is a fun experience just made for you.
VOLUNTEERS WANTED – Shop Associates work the museum shop. They handle cash and operate a computerized inventory POS system. A daily positive interaction with visitors, school groups, and staff is expected. Knowledge of NC history, gardening, and customer service techniques to enhance the retail experience are strongly encouraged. Local knowledge of New Bern attractions and familiarity with our tours is also essential.
Expectations for Shop Associates:
Volunteers are expected to work at least 2 weekends a month and possible holiday and other peak attendance times. Must be able to work independently. Need to be physically fit and able to stand for several hours at a time, plus be able to lift items to assist with receiving merchandise and inventory. Training and appropriate training materials will be provided. Training is on going throughout the year. Flexibility in schedule is strongly needed to adjust to the varying tour schedules monthly.
Shop Associates receive up to 25% discount in the shops. They can also be eligible for complimentary tickets.
