If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the Volunteer Application (PDF) and email it to our curator. Please indicate if you are interested in working at the museum front desk, doing an Eagle Scout project, or a school or college project. The museum accepts volunteers age 15+. Volunteers who are 15 must have a parent or guardian with them during their volunteer hours. Volunteers under 18 must have their parent or guardian contact HR to permit their volunteer hours. All volunteers are required to attend a brief orientation with South Jordan City Human Resources.

Note: Please allow at least two weeks for your volunteer application to be processed and for onboarding.
