Get Involved – Make a Difference!
Volunteer
Join our team and make a difference! Volunteers play an essential role in helping the Suquamish Museum thrive. Whether you’re passionate about history, culture, or gardening, there’s a place for you here.
Volunteer
Front Desk
On a regular basis we need volunteer help to cover the front desk and work in the museum store—welcoming guests, processing admissions and purchases, answering questions, and supporting special projects. It’s a great way to connect with visitors and share in the story of the Suquamish people.
Garden
From April through November, we need helping hands in our museum gardens. This beautiful space requires more care than one person can provide—volunteers assist with planting, weeding, trimming, and general upkeep to keep it vibrant and welcoming.
Your time and energy support the museum’s mission and help create a meaningful experience for all who visit. We’d love to have you on our team!
