Opportunities From: Genesee and Shiawassee Serves

The Whaley Historic House Museum often hosts rentals (ranging from birthday parties, to business meetings, to weddings), as well as special events that require volunteers to be on hand to observe and watch over the museum and its artifacts.

An individual interested in becoming an event or rental host would need to contact the museum, go through a brief orientation and then be willing to be on-call for events and rentals as they arise. 

Volunteer meetings are held once a month and are a great way to meet others involved in the museum and share ideas, concerns, and experiences.

Do you love sharing your interest in history with others? Do you enjoy sharing stories with others? Then we may have what you're looking for! The Whaley Historic House Museum is in need of tour guides.

Tour guides are usually called Docents  and need to go through a short training program before they are able to work during tour hours.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact the Whaley House to learn about upcoming docent training sessions.

The Whaley Historic House Museum needs looking after like any home or building. Periodically maintenance needs arise (such as painting) and housekeeping duties (including gardening, dusting, vacuuming, polishing, etc.) are generally taken care of after volunteer meetings.

Volunteers meet once a month to meet others involved with the house and share ideas, concerns, and experiences.
