Volunteer
History and You
Volunteer!
The Sacramento History Museum needs you! The Sacramento History Museum is looking for volunteers to assist with everything from school programs to special events to living history.
Volunteers are welcome to take on multiple roles with the Sacramento History Museum. All of our volunteer opportunities require a yearlong commitment of at least 40 hours per year.
Sacramento Living History
Living History volunteers showcase Sacramento and Gold Rush history from 1848-1880 throughout Old Sacramento. We welcome members interested in costumed interpretation as well as those interested in “behind-the-scenes” roles such as research, costume creation, and event set-up/breakdown.

Museum Docents work primarily with our school programs. The Sacramento History Museum currently offers 10 educational programs. Museum Docent training is provided. Please note that Museum Docents are not required to present all programs once they have gone through training. Docents can volunteer only for the programs they wish to lead.
