Make
History
Volunteer at the Sioux City Public Museum!
Do you enjoy
Siouxland history? Like to work with the public? The Sioux
City Public Museum needs your help to interpret the history
of the Sioux City region to our visitors. Some
volunteer opportunities include:
front desk greeter
Volunteers with the Museum Store and Front Desk are an
integral part of the Museum visitors’ overall
experience. The front desk greeter is the first contact
visitors have when entering the Museum. Because many of our
guests are from other states and countries, the front desk
greet is responsible for making the visitor feel welcome.
Merchandise in
the Museum Store is intended to enhance the visitor’s museum
experience and help support our future exhibits and
educational programs.
Volunteers are
needed 9 a.m.– 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays or 1–5 p.m.
on Sundays.

interested in Siouxland and Peirce Mansion history? Would
you like to learn more and be able to share that knowledge
with children and adult visitors to the Museum? Gallery
Guides must enjoy working with the public and are
responsible for leading our school and adult groups/tours
through the Museum. Interested volunteers will have the
opportunity to learn about the Peirce Mansion and other
aspects of Sioux City’s rich heritage. A few hours of
training to need to be completed before becoming a Gallery
Guide.
