Volunteer Opportunities

Share

CHM volunteers are diverse, dedicated, and passionate about decoding technology for everyone who visits the Museum. Volunteers tell the stories of tech pioneers and innovators to help audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and interests understand the world we live in today. 

Docents

Docents lead educational experiences that make technology, its history and stories, accessible and relevant for everyone. You should be comfortable speaking in public, have a positive attitude, and enjoy learning new skills. We especially welcome those interested in working with K–12 students. No prior experience necessary. 

Docents

Demonstrators

Demonstrators share the history and impact of restored legacy computers through interactive conversations with Museum visitors. As a demonstrator, you will be trained to work with your choice of an IBM 1401, a PDP-1, or IBM RAMAC.
