The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) is looking for outgoing and enthusiastic volunteers to welcome visitors from around the world to its fourth-floor deck outdoors Santa Barbara Visitor Center at the Santa Barbara Harbor.
Volunteers make connections between the museum and visitors while enjoying the social environment of the SBMM, and being among others who value Santa Barbara’s rich maritime history and tradition.
Working three hours a week, volunteers also help maintain displays and assist with special events, exhibit openings, art receptions, and community festivals.
For more about how to volunteer, contact Jesse Baker-Lorelli, volunteer coordinator, jbaker@sbmm.org or 805-456-8748. To apply, complete a volunteer application at www.sbmm.org/volunteer-application.
