Six volunteers in historical costumes outside on the Dalnavert veranda

Become a volunteer

Dalnavert Museum and Visitors' Centre (DMVC) runs on the dedication of its volunteers. Our volunteers are the force driving our success. Without our committed community members, this historic home and community resource wouldn't exist.

If you're interested in getting involved, please take a minute to explore our volunteer descriptions below and discover how you can help DMVC continue to thrive. If any of them look interesting, send us an email at volunteerservices@dalnavertmuseum.ca telling us which position you're interested in and why you would like to work with us. If you're ready to submit an application, fill it out and attach it to the email.

The minimum age to volunteer is 14.

All volunteers will go through an orientation on the history of the house and visitor services. They will receive further training according to their duties.

For more information, email your questions to volunteerservices@dalnavertmuseum.ca or give us a phone call at 204-943-2835.

To apply:

  • Read over our job descriptions and pick which one you're interested in;

  • Download a volunteer application form and fill it out;

  • Write a quick note telling us what type of volunteer work you're interested in and why (only has to be a few sentences);

  • Email the note and the application to us at volunteerservices@dalnavertmuseum.ca.

Once we've received your application and your email, we'll get back to you within a couple of weeks to discuss the best way for you to be involved. If your skills or interests don't fit our current needs, we will hold your application for six months and contact you when a position opens up.
