“The best part about working at the info desk is getting to meet people from all over the world who visit the Museum. I enjoy having the opportunity to share my knowledge and recommendations about various aspects of the downtown when people have questions. It's great to be able to volunteer in a fun, cultural environment between normal day-to-day activities and work.” Museum Info Desk Volunteer
