Volunteering

Arnprior and District Museum

Student Volunteers

We encourage volunteers of all ages and abilities at the Arnprior and District Museum. Students can often get all their community hours in one week over the March Break or summer. We provide a safe fun environment for after school projects. Share your talents or learn a new skill by joining our team.

We often need help with

• Children's programs

• Building and setting up exhibits

• Documenting artefacts

• Moving artefacts

Register by email or call the museum and we will set up an interview. Students aged 16 and under will need a parent's signature.

Friends of the Arnprior and District Museum

The Friends of the Museum provide fundraising and outreach for the Arnprior and District Museum. They are the sole owners of the distinctive Two Rivers (Arnprior, ON) tartan we sell in the form of scarves, ties, facemasks and more. Events such as a museum whiskey tasting, Victorian tea, and a learn-to-sew program for children have all been well-attended. If you would like to join this dynamic group, please call or email us.
