Volunteer by the Bay
The Long Island Maritime Museum is now seeking new part-time volunteers to help with its mission to preserve Long Island’s nautical past. Volunteers are being sought for different positions at the museum:
Educational Assistants
The museum offers hands-on programs for students and adults, as well as a maritime summer camp. The museum seeks volunteers to assist with administrative duties, background research for projects, and help with education programs.
Docents
Docents are the backbone of our educational tours. They are volunteers that love maritime history and sharing their knowledge with visitors both young and old. Our docent volunteers become knowledgeable about the history of the Museum and it's buildings and grounds. Using this information they provide informative guided tours. This position is for those that are comfortable speaking to small groups.
Visitor Services
The visitor services department interacts with the public during museum hours, special events and in the museum’s gift shop. Volunteers are needed to assist with public events (both at the museum and off-site), conduct tours of the museum
and engage with the public.
Boat and Maintenance Services
Volunteers with life-long building and trades experience can provide crucial support to staff and boat-builders by assisting with collections maintenance and the restoration of traditional watercraft and models. Specific knowledge or experience may be required for some activities. Our historically significant buildings must also be maintained.
Corporate Volunteers
Corporations such as Goldman Sachs and Bank of America provide funding and volunteer teams to complete maintenance and restoration projects on the Museum's campus each year. They have planted flowers, painted historic buildings and helped Museum staff prepare for annual events. The Museum welcomes these volunteers and the commitment and enthusiasm they bring each year.
To register your company for a volunteer event please contact the Museum.
The Museum is located on the Great South Bay at 88 West Avenue in West Sayville. New York. LIMM works in partnership
with the Suffolk County Parks Department.
