Become a Volunteer!
Volunteers are the lifeblood of the museum, and are vital to ensure museum operations run smoothly.
Our volunteers span all age ranges and backgrounds; while previous experience in the aviation industry is always welcome, it is not a requirement. All you really need is enthusiasm and a few spare hours each month.
Perks include access to special events, gift shop discounts, and more. If you are interested in volunteering with us, stop by and talk with our Volunteer Coordinator, call us at 713-454-1940, or click button below.
