The Meadowlands Museum is the only museum striving to PRESERVE THE HISTORY of the Meadowlands area of New Jersey.  We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that is totally run by volunteers, and are dependent on donations, memberships, and a few grants for covering our expenses.  We require help in our efforts, which involve more and more of a relationship with the whole Meadowlands area community.  Many of these tasks can be accomplished at home, but we do request time to meet for group participation.  Volunteers sign in for all in-museum participation so time can be accounted for for college or work resumes or community services, if needed.  

​

We need Volunteers for the following positions:

​

*Fundraising Associates - to be an active part of our GoFundMe campaign... raising funds for the matching part of our grant for exterior repair to our building.  

​

* Publicity and Promotional Assistants - to write articles regarding the museum and helping to get these articles placed in local newspapers and on social media 

​

*Docents - to be trained to give tours of the museum on occasional Saturdays and for special group tours.

​

​

* Collections Assistants - to learn how to catalog and care for museum items.

​

* Grants Associates - to help with researching possible grant opportunities.

​
