Since MHM was established in 1984, our volunteers have been the lifeblood of our organisation – and integral to our day-to-day operations. If you want to support our mission and make an impact in the community, we invite you to join our MHM volunteer team.

Become a volunteer 

Join over 160 dedicated individuals who generously donate their time to support our museum’s mission.

We welcome people from diverse backgrounds and communities. From students to job seekers to retirees, our volunteers have varied skill and knowledge levels.

Whether you have a specific skill, area of interest, or are eager to assist in any capacity, we want to hear from you.

How do I become a volunteer?  

If you are interested in volunteering at MHM, we welcome you to register below for an information session. If the area you’re interested in is not featured, or you cannot attend the information session on one of the specified dates, please complete our volunteer expression of interest form here, and a member of staff will be in touch.

Please note, to become a volunteer, you must:

• Be over 18 years of age

Why volunteer? 

Our volunteers are the backbone of the museum, ensuring its smooth operation and enhancing the experience for our visitors. By volunteering, you’ll gain valuable skills and experience in the professional field and make connections with a passionate community of like-minded people.

More importantly, you will contribute to a purpose-driven mission to amplify the voices of Holocaust survivors – and educate the next generation.
