Volunteers are an essential part of the Alutiiq Museum and we appreciate the hundreds of hours community members donate each year. Volunteers help with everything from studying Alutiiq prehistory to greeting visitors and hosting special events. Volunteering is a great way to learn more about Alutiiq Heritage and make new friends.
