Opportunities From: Love Out Loud

The Greensboro History Museum needs help running our Summer Program in 2026!  The Summer Program is a history adventure for students ages 5-14, running from mid-June to mid-August.  High school volunteers (VolunTeens) help set up and break down the Summer Program and run different history activity stations.  This year, VolunTeens will help educate children of the Triad about America250th, learning about what life was like in the 18th Century, and assist with fun hands-on activities like writing with quill pens.  

VolunTeens will need to be interviewed and attend an orientation before beginning.  VolunTeens can accrue large amounts of volunteer hours and possible service hours for the Summer.   VolunTeens can expect to pick up 2.5 hours per Summer Program.

Are you interested in helping the museum with field trips?  The Greensboro History Museum is currently accepting potential volunteers for our Docent Roster.  Help elementary school children learn about the history of Greensboro and North Carolina by manning one of the six stations during the 2.5hr field trips.  These stations cover a wide margin of history from Colonial Woodworking to Miss Lina’s Schoolroom.

This is a morning program and it runs from 9:00 am-12:00 pm Tuesday through Friday.

If you are interested you will be trained and shadow one of the field trips ahead of time.  

It is required to volunteer for at least two field trips per month during the school year (a total of 6 hours per month).

Please send an email to alyson.witte@greensboro-nc.gov explaining your interest in being a museum docent.
