OXNARD — Nestled on the coast of Southern California, in Ventura County, supported by a vibrant community of art aficionados, a steady, year-round influx of art seekers from the area, and tourists from around the world, Channel Islands Maritime Museum is perfectly poised to bring vibrant and innovative art to the forefront of the local art scene. Discover the Maritime Museum as a volunteer. Located at Oxnard’s beautiful harbor on California’s Gold Coast, 3900 Bluefin Circle, Oxnard, CA 93035. Rotating contemporary exhibits and displays enhance the permanent collection.
Next training class begins Monday, March 4, 2019 and runs for 8 consecutive Mondays from 10 am to noon at CIMM and ends April 22, 2019. Enrollment for the class ends on Friday, February 22, 2019.
Educational children’s programs, monthly Speakers Series, maritime-related activities and breathtaking harbor views await the volunteers. Active volunteers are trained to know the collection, understand the Museum’s organizational structure and have an overview of the Museum’s activities and programs.
Additional “On-the-Job” training is scheduled independently. Volunteers serve as Floor Docents/Tour Guides, and as Reception Desk/Admission Personnel. The classes also provide the background to serve the Museum in a variety of the organization’s activities.
All volunteers are required to join the Museum as members. Volunteers agree to complete a minimum of six hours of service per month and a minimum of 72 hours a year.
