| Volunteers - Board and Committee Members needed. |
|
Volunteering is a challenging and rewarding experience. Volunteering also gives you a chance to meet new people, share your knowledge, experience, and skills. You can also learn new skills, and have access to unique behind-the-scenes opportunities. A few times a month or a few times a year, whatever time you can give, we look forward to meeting your needs. Fill in our form and drop it off at the Museum to get started. Volunteer Form PDF
Opportunities include, but are not limited to:
We also have student volunteer opportunities that can be used to get the 40 hours of volunteering required for high school graduation. We would welcome students at our Trivia Night to collect score sheets. Students are always needed to help with all events taking place during the summer which include Victorian Teas, Ghost Walks, Summer Camp and greeting visitors at the Museum. Our student volunteer form PDF can be accessed here.
Volunteers come in many different forms, and we are thankful for all of your efforts!

Co-op Placements at Billy Bishop Home & Museum |
| We LOVE to work with energetic and inspired students who share our passion for the history of Billy Bishop, Canadian military history, and life in Victorian times - you may even have a few ideas of your own! If you are a high-school student thinking about a career in museums, history, arts, education, anthropology, archaeology, teaching or business, think about us. Better yet, come by and talk to us. We believe in adapting your placement to your needs - whether that's exploring everything or a very specific career goal. |
| College or University Interships |
| Students currently attending Museum Studies, Curatorial, Social work (Youth), and Business programs, consider us for your placement. We're a small house museum, with a small staff working on a National Historic Site-scale. This means your voice and input are valuable to us and play a vital role in the development. We would be happy to speak with you and your program coordinator to create a customized placement that helps you achieve your goals for the career you want to pursue. Already have a vision for a program, an event, or implementing a new technology? We'd love to hear from you, and then help you make that vision a reality. |
