Dio you love maritime history and shipbuilding? Have you thought of volunteering? The Essex Shipbuilding Museum is looking for new volunteers to help carry on its programs throughout the year.

To recruit new volunteers, and possibly better motivate its existing volunteers, the Essex Shipbuilding Museum is having a Volunteers’ Day with two purposes in mind.
- Providing an opportunity for interested individuals to learn more about the Museum and the many interesting and fulfilling opportunities that we have for volunteers.
- Providing an opportunity for existing volunteers to get a broader picture of what goes on in the Museum as a whole and what some other opportunities are.
Whether you are a seasoned professional or a raw newcomer, the museum can find a place for you!
