Spend a few hours at the Mattapoisett Museum this summer! ☀️

We’re looking for friendly volunteers to serve as greeters during our summer season, May 29 through September 26.

The museum is only open Fridays and Saturdays from 12pm–4pm, so even giving a little of your time can make a big difference. No specialized knowledge is needed — just a warm smile and a welcoming presence at the door!

If you enjoy meeting people and supporting the museum, we’d love to have you join us. Questions? Email [email protected].
