Volunteer Opportunities

Get involved, give back, and connect. Volunteering with us is a great way to support the Museum and the built environment.

Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the National Building Museum’s mission and enjoy exclusive benefits such as free admission to select programs and invitations to special volunteer events. Learn more about our volunteer opportunities and how you can get involved.
Docents

Our Museum Docents lead visitors on free, guided tours of the Museum’s historic building, sharing the unique story of its creation and the wide variety of uses it has had over the decades. They also provide special guided tours of the Museum’s permanent exhibitions to provide a more in-depth experience.
