We Need Your Help At The Museum!

Are you passionate about history and technology?
We're seeking enthusiastic individuals to join our team as volunteer 
hosts at the VCFs Computing History Museum.
We've been busy aligning it with InfoAge's goals by turning it into a 
place that not only  preserves and showcases "the machines", but is 
embellished with lots of ways to experience the equipment more fully and 
foster exciting introductions to technology concepts.
We need your help!

Why Volunteer with Us?

Engage with History: you'll have the unique opportunity to delve into 
the world of vintage computing inspired by our enviable vintage 
collection, sharing that history and passion for the equipment with 
visitors of all ages.

Exclusive Training: We provide comprehensive training to all our volunteers,
ensuring you're well-equipped to lead tours and answer questions with 
confidence.

Flexible Scheduling: The museum operates on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and 
Sundays, 12-5.
Special School tours, generally on Wednesdays, are earlier.
No long term commitment necessary. Come once a week, once a month,
once every two months based on your schedule.  We'll take whatever you
can spare. You can even be an "on call" emergency helper for when we
get caught short of help.

Travel Support: For those traveling 60 miles or more, we offer a $50 per 
diem to assist with travel expenses,
acknowledging your commitment and effort.
Onsite Accommodations: For weekend volunteers, we offer the convenience 
of an overnight stay onsite for Saturday and Sunday shifts, making it 
easier for you to be a part of our team without the hassle of daily travel.

Join Us for Fun and Learning: Volunteering at the Vintage Computing 
Museum is a lot about about giving back but it's also about learning and 
having fun. It's a chance to make new friends, meet industry people, 
learn about vintage computing as a hobby, and contribute to a community 
that values technological heritage.  Its even more fun if you bring a 
friend along to help because you can enjoy having access to the whole 
collection together.

Not Sure?  Then come hang out on a museum day and see what you think.

If you're interested in seeing what this is all about, please contact us
