Needs From: Winona State University

Gift Shop Attendants support the museum's gift shop operations by running transactions and packaging purchases for customers. Volunteers are also responsible for cleaning the sales floor and desk and organizing displays throughout their shift. 

Volunteers complete one training shift, approximately 2 - 4 hours depending on retail experience, before they are able to sign up for regular shifts. Volunteers work alongside a museum docent during open hours. 

This position is ideal for students in need of regular, consistent volunteer opportunities or who are looking to fulfill a larger volunteer hour requirement for a course. Preference for students with retail or customer service experience.

Museum Hours:

Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 am - 2 pm

Custodial Volunteers work to keep the museum clean and operable by sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, taking out the trash and recycling, and assisting with groundskeeping including weeding and outdoor beautification.

While volunteers typically work during museum hours, there is also flexibility to work outside of museum hours when you're available. Shifts can range from 2 - 4 hours depending on the volunteer's capacity. 

Custodial Volunteers work independently, without direct supervision. Preference for motivated individuals who are self-sufficient. Ideal for students with the need for flexible scheduling or for students looking to complete hours requirements for a course at their own pace. 

Museum Hours:

Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am - 2 pm
