Volunteering Opportunities
Volunteers play an important role in the day to day activities of the museum. They are the heart and soul of the facility and we couldn’t provide the high level of programming without them.
A special thank you to all Langley Centennial Museum volunteers for all that they do!

There are lots of ways to get involved!
Docent Led Programs
Every year more than 45 docent volunteers provide museum tours and programs for school children. These volunteer educators, called docents, commit three hours per week for much of the school year to deliver the programs and attend special training programs throughout the year. Over 5,000 school children each year attend the programs given by these enthusiastic and skilled volunteers.
For more information, contact the Arts and Heritage Educator via email at educator@tol.ca.

Museum of Flight

The Canadian Museum of Flight is looking for intrepid volunteers to help launch a new era of aviation programming, who will help to deliver school programs at the only flight museum in Metro Vancouver, beginning in January 2020. This unique volunteering opportunity will involve the presentation of a dynamic new cross-curricular school program that uses the science of aviation to explain Newton’s Laws of Motion.
As a volunteer docent, highly knowledgeable, seasoned aviators, and aircraft professionals will support you in the presentation of program material. You will guide students through a series of stations and hands-on activities, and be part of a team that is responsible for delivering a highly engaging and memorable learning experience.
All necessary training is provided. For more information, contact Jeff Chenatte, Arts and Heritage Supervisor via email at jchenatte@tol.ca.
