Shifting Volunteer Expectations – March 7, 2026
Small museums are not losing volunteers—they’re outgrowing outdated systems.
National data shows volunteerism is rising, yet recruitment and retention challenges persist when roles lack flexibility, accessibility, and meaning. Shifting Volunteer Expectations is a hands-on workshop created specifically for small museums and solo professionals navigating this shift.
You’ll explore:
- Why “traditional” volunteer models exclude people
- How flexibility becomes a form of accessibility
- Short-term, remote, and skills-based engagement strategies
- Practical tools like the MMRI framework and inclusive intake models
This session moves beyond theory and into 7 Day Real-World application—designed for solo practitioners, museums with limited staff, time, and resources.

Time: 10:00–11:30 AM (90 minutes)
