“Whether you want to start a new museum volunteer program or revitalize an existing one, this toolkit will guide you toward the resources and framework you need to be successful and sustainable. By framework, we mean a combination of tools, policies, procedures, and systems you put in place to construct a well-run and sustainable volunteer program”

Designing a Museum Volunteer Program

Designing a Museum Volunteer Program is published by and available for purchase through the American Alliance of Museums. The toolkit is organized into three sections: Structuring the Program, Developing the Program, and Supporting the Program. The professional standards from the American Alliance of Museums

(AAM) and the American Association for Museum Volunteers (AAMV) are included in each section.
