Volunteer
The Museum welcomes volunteers of all types and has many possibilities for them. Within the museum, volunteer opportunities exist in many areas -- including specimen organization and preparation, archiving historical materials, GIS work, public outreach projects, administrative assistance, and more. In addition, individual researchers affiliated with the museum sometimes take on volunteers as lab/research assistants and as field assistants.
If you are interested in volunteering to work in the museum, please fill out the following volunteer application form (if you are a Cal Student, please fill out the MVZ Undergraduate Application) and then hand in the form via the front office.
If you are interested in volunteering as a research or lab assistant, it is also good to
contact the researcher directly.
