Whether assisting with events, tours, or behind-the-scenes projects, our volunteers bring their enthusiasm and talents to support The Castle’s mission of education and community engagement.

Volunteer Opportunities

Tour Guides

The Castle welcomes thousands of visitors each year for guided tours. Our volunteer docents bring history to life by sharing stories of the home and its past residents. We’re always looking for passionate volunteers to join us in educating and inspiring our guests. If you love history and want to be part of a rewarding experience, we’d love to have you on our team!

Youth Programs

Cooking over a fire, Victorian games, crafts, house tours, and elegant teas are frequent activities at The Castle. We have many programs that teach children what it was like to live in the mid 1800s. We also have special events for kids such as book clubs and Christmas Teas.

Internships

College level students interested in interning at The Castle can apply by contacting our Education Director, Kyle Yoho at kyle@mariettacastle.org. Experience at The Castle includes public history, education, marketing, leadership, and much more.

Design your own volunteer role

Opportunities are available to help with grounds keeping, collections care, office management, guest speakers, workshop leaders, and more. We also welcome those with a knack for social media, photography, or marketing!
