Volunteer Opportunities

The Matthews Heritage Museum is always looking for individuals to serve as docents or tour guides. Do you like to learn? Do you like history? Join our dedicated group of women and men who conduct guided tours of the Museum. The rewards are great!

Each volunteer is asked to take one shift of 3 hours once a month. Shifts are AM: 10 to 1, PM: 1 to 4. In addition to learning history, you will enjoy getting to know this interesting group of docents. A training class will be offered to all new docents. Ongoing training is held for new exhibits and new research.

The Museum is open Thursday to Saturday each week from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Volunteers are needed to be present for a morning or afternoon shift at least once a month on one of those days. Additionally, you may be asked to give a tour to school groups, senior groups, or scouts when they are scheduled.

To learn more about becoming a volunteer, please call 704-708-4996 during operating hours or email us here. Thank you for considering becoming a docent for the Matthews Heritage Museum!
