Volunteer Opportunity – Shepparton Art Museum – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

Want to help us open our doors this October? Join SAM’s Volunteer program! Shepparton Art Museum is looking for volunteers from the Multicultural community! SAM is partnering with St Paul’s African House and the Ethnic Council to build a group of multicultural Art Museum volunteers. SAM Volunteers create an impact at the Museum in a variety of different ways, including visitor services, cataloguing, and maintaining SAM’s library, providing guided tours to groups, as well as assisting with the facilitation of workshops, talks and other events. Applications close 19 of August!

Volunteering at SAM offers a unique and rewarding opportunity to experience SAM’s exhibitions, programs, and collections first-hand. It’s a great way to get involved with art and our community, while gaining valuable experience within a cultural organisation.

SAM’s Volunteer program aims to provide a unique insight into SAM’s daily operations. It is an opportunity to learn new skills and meet interesting people, including artist and other art workers in the industry. SAM’s Volunteers have many opportunities to get involved including with our Visitor Services, Public Programs, the SAM Library and SAM Guides.

Does this sound like an opportunity you’d like to be involved in? Apply to become a SAM Volunteer today.

SAM embraces our divere community and encourages applications from everyone including people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background, people of diverse sexual orientation and gender, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and people of varied age, ability and faith.
