Museum Ambassador/Docents: Ensure a great visitor experience. Help visitors with wayfinding, and answer questions. Collect visitor feedback and take photos. Meet people from around the world!

Administrative Support: Prepare mass mailings, file, assist with inventory, and carry out other office tasks. This work is a huge help.
