Fluency in more than one language is helpful but not required. If you speak a second language, you can help us share the excitement with our visitors from around the world. We have a special need for volunteers who can assist us with our many Spanish-speaking visitors.

There are 3 ways to volunteer:

1. Become a Visitor Services Volunteer
You'll greet Met visitors, answer "about" questions, assist with special events and projects, and assist the Met staff in education, operations, marketing, and visitor services.

Anyone age 15 and up is welcome to apply. Ongoing training is provided. Weekday, weekend and some evening shifts are available and can accommodate a variety of schedules.

Apply online here. To apply by fax or mail, please download our application as a PDF.

2. Become a Docent
Learn more about becoming a docent through our Docent Education Series

3. Join the Met Club
Founded in 1983 by a dedicated group of volunteers with incredible vision, the Metropolitan Club is an integral part of the Museum.
