Year-round

We are looking for energetic, outgoing, and articulate high school students to volunteer on weekends. Guggenheim Teen Volunteers assist adult staff and volunteers in our weekend Family Programs. Assignments include being a liaison for families in the lobby at our Family Programs Kiosk and facilitating gallery activities in our Just Drop In programs.

Being a Teen Volunteer is great for fulfilling community service requirements, resume-building, and college applications. Please send a statement of interest to familyprograms@guggenheim.org, and write: "Weekend Volunteer" in the subject line.
