Visitors want to climb the tower and every climb needs a guide who has learned the script and can share the fascinating history of Nobska and the area. Only six people at a time can go - so lots of guides are needed. No charge for the exercise.
Training and mentorship required. After completing training, docents would shadow their fellow docents before giving a one-on-one tour with a staff member before they are ready to give tours to the public. This is a great way to keep active in town and share your love of Nobska with the public.

A maritime museum is in development within the Keeper's House. Join the excitement and share our story with visitors, field questions, and guide visitors during their visits.

A thoughtfully curated gift shop, open to the public during the season, is seeking personable and attentive team members to warmly welcome guests and provide a seamless retail experience.
Responsibilities include assisting with purchases, maintaining an inviting shop environment, and utilizing point-of-sale systems (iPad-based experience a plus) to ensure efficient and accurate transactions.

Committee is responsible for supporting the advancement of the organization through events, communications, and public activities. The committee identifies and creates opportunities to steward donors, cultivate potential donors and ensures a culture of philanthropy within the organization.

We're looking for individuals who have a passion for maritime history and аre

a plus, as well as being available to attend educational programs to support staff.
Most importantly we аre interested in finding volunteers who understand great

These historic buildings are a handyman's delight. If you're handy and willing, come join the crew. This tends to be inspection and as-needed type of work with a committed group of people.

Maintenance is never-ending, picking up trash, painting fences, pulling weeds, trimming bushes—it all takes time and care. The view keeps us going and visitors ask lots of questions.
Please complete and submit the Volunteer Application form to info@friendsofnobska.org.
