The museum is excited to be growing its Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Program and is seeking individuals who are interested in the history of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands.

Museum volunteers are invaluable to fulfilling the museum’s mission and keeping the museum’s doors open to the public. Volunteers are trained in museum policies and procedures and partnered with a volunteer mentor.
