Volunteer

The Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum welcomes volunteers to assist with our programs and activities and to help strengthen ties with the local community and partners. Ways to volunteer include becoming a member of the Art Museum Student Organization (AMSO), which is open to all Miami University students; and joining the Art Museum Docents, volunteer gallery guides, and educators who regularly assist the Art Museum. Volunteers also assist the art museum team with events to help grow and support our diverse audiences. In addition to student and internship opportunities, there may be opportunities to volunteer on projects which benefit the Art Museum. These may include volunteering behind-the-scenes as well as in educational and outreach initiatives.

We thank all our volunteers for their great work and support!
