They often participate in a variety of activities such as assisting at libraries, hospitals, community centers, or charity events. Volunteering helps teenagers gain valuable experience, build new skills, and make a positive impact in their communities. It can also fulfill school service requirements and enhance college applications.

As a teen volunteer, you can assist in animal shelters, where duties include feeding, grooming, and caring for animals and cleaning cages. You can also find programs where you prepare or serve food to homeless people. Some teen positions involve interacting with younger children in recreational or academic programs. You may also volunteer to provide companionship to seniors in community centers, nursing homes, or assisted living facilities.

What responsibilities can teen volunteers expect, and how are tasks typically assigned?

Teen volunteers are often given responsibilities that match their interests, skills, and maturity level, such as assisting with events, supporting staff with administrative tasks, or engaging with program participants. Tasks are usually assigned based on current organizational needs and the volunteer’s availability. Supervision and training are provided to ensure safety and a positive experience. Volunteers can expect to work both independently and as part of a team, gaining valuable communication and organizational skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a teen volunteer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Teen Volunteer, you need a willingness to learn, reliability, and a basic understanding of the organization's mission, with some positions requiring parental consent or orientation. Familiarity with scheduling tools, communication apps, or volunteer management systems may be helpful depending on the organization. Strong interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude help teens build relationships and contribute effectively. These abilities are important because they enable teen volunteers to make meaningful contributions, gain valuable experience, and support organizational goals.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Teen & Family Museum Education Fellow supports SAM programs for children, caregivers, and teens while receiving training and mentorship and taking on increasing responsibility.

  • Program planning, coordination, facilitation, and evaluation in a museum context
  • Inclusive strategies for engaging children, caregivers, and teens through art-making, close looking, conversation, and leadership
  • Collaboration with teaching artists, volunteers, community partners, curators, visitor-facing teams, and other museum colleagues
  • How to use observation and participant feedback to improve programs and create effective museum-education resources
  • Potential career pathways in museums, education, nonprofits, youth development, and the arts

Applications are due at 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time Sunday, September 6, 2026. Candidates invited to interview will be asked to provide two professional, academic, or community references.

This ambitious effort represents a transformative shift and radically redefining how art museums operate. This is a pivotal moment for SAM, and we are seeking great talent to join us on our journey.
