The STAR Corps

We refer to our museum volunteers as the "STAR Corps," for "Sustainers of Tradition And Remembrance." They are a special group of people, from all walks of life and all types of backgrounds. Our volunteers help keep the museum operating day-to-day, manning the visitor reception desk, running the gift shop, answering the telephones, cleaning and maintaining the building, working in the office, and assisting in every other way possible. Some volunteers help with exhibit fabrication, others assist in the restoration of our aircraft and missiles. The library and archives are run mostly by volunteers and our education programs are presented mostly by volunteers. They are a dedicated and enthusiastic group of people and we could not exist without them!

Want to join the ranks of our STAR Corps and help us accomplish our many vital tasks? We are always looking for additional help. You do not have to have any particular type of work experience, only a willingness to learn and have fun! If you do have a specialty though, let us know and we will certainly put your talents                                                                     to good use!!
