Volunteer programme
Volunteers
- Do you have some free time and enjoy helping people?
- Are you interested in ships and seafarers, how the oceans have shaped our history, the future of the sea, or simply in museums?
- Would you like to become part of our dedicated team of volunteers?
As a volunteer you will become an important part of the Museum, supporting our work and enhancing the experience of our many visitors.
New volunteering roles become available regularly in a variety of Museum departments. Please see our list of current opportunities, and check back soon if there are no roles suited to you at the moment.
Please note: Volunteering is not the same as Work Experience. If you are a student seeking work experience, please fill out the enquiry form and send it with your CV and covering letter to workexperience@rmg.co.uk or by post to Human Resources, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich SE10 9NF.
