Are you passionate about history? Do you have 4 hours per week to spare? Then join our volunteer staff at the Vancouver Island Military Museum. The VIMM has been a volunteer-run organization since its beginning in 1986, dedicated to helping us preserve history and engage with the community. Currently, we are looking for Front of House volunteers to greet visitors, handle ticket sales, and guide the public around exhibits as needed. Every new volunteer will receive orientation and training. You do not need to be an expert in Military History. If you are interested in supporting the Vancouver Island Military Museum as a volunteer, please contact us with your questions and for more information.
