MAG has many volunteer opportunities available, both behind the scenes and in contact with the public. All volunteers receive on-site training and an invitation to an annual volunteer recognition reception. Volunteers receive discounts at THE STORE @ MAG and free or reduced admission to many museum programs and events.
