● Community

Volunteer Guild

The Guild is the largest volunteer corps of the Pearl and actively participates in the daily running of the museum, the funding for museum programs and the promotion and outreach of the museum within the community at large.

All Guild members volunteer a minimum of 15 hours per year, which can be in any capacity of service that benefits the museum (any of the Guild committees, Exhibit Openings or Pearlformancesupport, acting as a Docent, etc.).

Volunteer Guild members are invited to join a committee.  This is a great way to get involved in a project that reflects your interests!  In a committee, you can meet new people, learn new skills, and give back to the museum and the community.
