We have a host of special volunteer shifts in a variety of places, you’ll learn about them by looking at the different activity types in the “opportunities” tab. Both regular shifts and special events are very important to us – we hope you can help us out with a variety of tasks! If you have no preference for shifts, try to choose those with zero or one volunteer registered.
Remember to carefully check the shift time and date before making your choices. Before closing your browser window when checking your schedule, please double check that you’ve hit save! If you have any issues with Better Impact, feel free to call us at 604-827-4809 or send an email to volunteers@beatymuseum.ubc.ca.
Upcoming Volunteer Training Opportunities
Beaty Biodiversity Museum volunteers help with the vital role of achieving a world where biodiversity is better understood, valued, and protected. To help you reach this goal, we host monthly training sessions on a suite of topics. Both seasoned and new volunteers, along with museum staff, are encouraged to attend. Meet your fellow volunteers, discuss the museum, explore the collections, enhance your skills, and meet other people in the team. Training hours count towards your total volunteer hours.
Remember that all training hours count towards your total hours in the museum. Do you have suggestions or ideas for a volunteer training session? Let us know!
Check out Better Impact under “Opportunities” and “Training” for all of our future training sessions!
