Volunteers interested in donating their time and talents to the HMC can do so in a number of ways. The Holocaust survivors who speak to groups are volunteers as are docents who lead the tours. Volunteers serve in the museum shop and the library as well as in other capacities including staff aides, museum hosts, and front desk greeters. The time spent volunteering at the HMC can be used toward fulfilling service hours required by congregational and school programs.
