Volunteer

…just for the fun of it!

The Hoboken Historical Museum is a small nonprofit that depends on the energy and dedication of our volunteers. Because we are supported primarily by local fundraising and public grants, volunteers are essential to managing the events that fund our educational exhibits and community programs.

Volunteering is a rewarding way to get to know your neighbors and connect with the city’s vibrant cultural life. No prior experience is needed—the only requirement is a friendly attitude!

Ways You Can Help

Most assignments last only a few hours. There is truly something for everyone:

  • Event Support: Help with setup, registration, or selling merchandise at Museum events.
  • Tour Hosts: Stand in as a host at various sites during our popular Garden Tour and House Tour.
  • Community Outreach: Staff the Museum booth at city-sponsored events and community festivals (like the Fall Arts & Music Festival) to spread the word about our activities.
