Volunteering opportunities

In addition to more structured Docent and Curation team roles, there are other behind-the-scenes and general volunteer opportunities. The LTRR participates in a number of events each year including the Tucson Festival of Books and the UArizona Museum Day. We need assistance in the following areas:

  • Volunteer in the tree-ring costume at a Tucson Festival of Books open house event.
  • Ticket Attendants for events such as Open House tours. Duties include explaining Lab tours, directing guests, handing out and collecting tickets.
  • Photographer: Taking pictures of events, asking guests to sign a media release form.
  • Set Up for events: Placing linen on tables, putting signs up, setting up chairs, and other small set up needs.
  • Representation at information tables at events.
  • Miscellaneous duties: include handing out drinking water to staff, volunteers, and vendors; counting tickets; keeping an eye on children; handing out flyers; answering guest questions; and much more!
