Volunteers at the PMA

PMA vol­un­teers, unit­ed by their diverse back­grounds and shared pas­sion for art and peo­ple, bring ener­gy and enthu­si­asm to their roles. Through dynam­ic, inter­ac­tive engage­ment, they assist vis­i­tors in explor­ing the col­lec­tion and spe­cial exhi­bi­tions, fos­ter­ing deep­er con­nec­tions and insights. As ded­i­cat­ed ambas­sadors, these vol­un­teers not only enhance the vis­i­tor expe­ri­ence but also active­ly sup­port the PMA’s mis­sion, rein­forc­ing its role as a vital cul­tur­al hub.

Vol­un­teers play a cru­cial role in the muse­um by lead­ing drop-in pub­lic tours, guid­ing spe­cial­ized adult tours for inter­est groups, and sup­port­ing com­mu­ni­ty and out­reach pro­grams. Through these ser­vice posi­tions, they enhance the muse­um’s acces­si­bil­i­ty and engage­ment, mak­ing art more mean­ing­ful and acces­si­ble to all.
