Volunteers of all types are what make the International Printing Museum work and come to life for all of our visitors. We would love to have you join us, no matter your background, age, or skills. There is a place for everyone!
We realize that different volunteers have different interests, availability, and needs. That’s why we have different categories of volunteers.
The first category is our Leather Apron Docent Guild, which includes folks who volunteer at least once a month, usually including the first Saturday. These volunteers can be trained in more specific volunteer tasks, such as tours, printing, physical collections, and/or facility maintenance. The second category is our Event Volunteers, which requires a lower time-commitment of volunteers. They help with special events when we need the most volunteers, or on occasional Saturdays.
Whether you can only give your time a few times a year or a few times a month, we would love to have you come and join us! We are grateful for all our volunteers do.
EVENT VOLUNTEERS
Interested in helping out with special events at the Museum? The museum needs extra hands on big days like the Los Angeles Printers Fair, our Summer Wayzgoose Celebration, scout programs, and holiday events. Event volunteers can help with check-in, set-up, tours, activities, and demonstrations. Help us match your volunteer interests with the needs of the Museum by filling out our Volunteer Event Interest Form.
THE LEATHER APRON DOCENT GUILD
The Leather Apron Guild is the Museum’s core group of volunteers. These volunteers keep the presses running, give tours, organize the warehouse, and perform the vast variety of tasks needed to keep the Museum going. Make new friends nd learn something new each time you come to the Museum!
Museum Docents and Volunteers meet the 1st Saturday of every month between 10am & 4pm to work on a variety of projects depending on skill and interest. Lunch is provided. Come join our growing team.
If you’re interested in joining the Leather Apron Guild, please fill out the Leather Apron Docent Guild Application or contact the museum directly. Be sure to join our Volunteer Group on Facebook for updates.
