2009 Volunteer Hours

Building A Better Museum, One Hour at A Time

Hours our volunteers put in at the Museum are important not only for the physical improvements and community connections but also for the monetary benefits they provide. When applying for grants and corporate sponsorships volunteer hours show the amount of support within the community and can also be converted into income.

Last year we tallied 10,093 volunteer hours. That equals the work time of over five full-time positions. This means additonal assistance for the Museum which it otherwise couldn’t afford. The divsion of those hours is as follows:

Gift Shop 1,420
Docent Activities 2,362
Administration 954
Installation 583
Library 679
Front Desk 451
VIA Council 380
Events 1,188
Hands On/Education 318
Trustees 1,205
Other 553 (misc., special projects, gardening, etc.)

Without our volunteers, the Museum wouldn’t be where it is today. Your time and committment is invaluable and greatly appreciated. So that we may continue to better our Museum and encourage art in our community, please be sure to record your hours when you volunteer. If you have any questions contact Rosalind Bedell @ rosalind.bedell@nevadaart.org.
