The Illinois Railway Museum is recruiting new volunteers at this time. The museum is growing and continues to strive to be the largest railway museum in the country. We are seeking an unlimited amount of people at this time. We are seeking interested individuals for all our departments and museum support positions.
Experience is not necessary in order to volunteer at the museum. The museum will train you to the best of our abilities in the area of interest. Individuals with railroad and or skilled trades experience are strongly encouraged in becoming a new volunteer. Individuals without any experience are equally beneficial to the museum as those with experience.
There is no set time requirement for volunteers. Current volunteer time ranges from one day a year to multiple days a week. Please don't hesitate in signing up thinking you don't have enough time to put into volunteering. ANY time is beneficial to the museum and will contribute to the growth of the museum.
Interested individuals can contact me at: volunteer@irm.org
I will respond to you as quickly as possible to get you started. Please note, in order to volunteer, you MUST be in good standing with your museum membership. All volunteers are required to be current members of any level.
The Illinois Railway Museum thanks you in advance for your interest in volunteering. We look forward to working with you soon.
