Opportunities From: United Way of Pierce County

Volunteers in the Boone Racing Experience Speed Zone help guests experience the excitement of racing through interactive, hands-on activities. Volunteers assist visitors with our racing simulators by helping them get set up, explaining basic operation, and ensuring everyone has a fun and enjoyable experience.

Speed Zone volunteers also support the slot car area, helping guests learn how to operate the cars, keeping races running smoothly, and returning cars to the track when they take an unexpected detour.

This is a great opportunity for volunteers who enjoy working with people, have an interest in racing or technology, and like helping guests engage with interactive exhibits in a fun and welcoming environment.

Photo Car Volunteers welcome and assist guests using the self‑serve photo booth stationed at our 1923 Buick. Volunteers guide guests safely in and out of the vehicle. They explain how to scan the QR code, walk guests through the on‑screen photo process, and assist with purchasing their photos. Volunteers also help manage guest flow, answer questions, and ensure each visitor has a smooth, fun, and memorable experience.

Museum Educators lead K-12 audiences in the discovery of automobile-themed curriculum topics in the subjects of American history, math, science, literacy, and the arts through a guided museum experience.

Events Specialists assist with the numerous events that are booked at the Museum. Volunteers may be needed to greet visitors in the Lobby and help direct them where to go, work as a Collection Monitor in the galleries or dress up in costume to fit the theme of a party for added ambiance. Events can occur at just about any time – daytime, evenings, and weekends. Weekend and evening volunteers are of particular need.

Desired attributes include: positive attitude, professional appearance and conduct, and a desire to promote the mission of the America’s Car Museum.

Collections Management is in charge of seeing that our valuable collection of vehicles and artifacts are displayed for maximum enjoyment by our visitors. They are charged to see that the collection is kept safe and the condition preserved. Collection Monitors protect and oversee the collection on view to insure they are not handled in any way. In addition, they provide information about the Museum, its history, and the collection to enhance the experience for our visitors.

Docents conduct guided tours of the Museum for audiences of diverse backgrounds which may include school-age children, young adults, educators, seniors, visitors with special needs, and those for whom English is not a first language. Docents will provide a brief history of ACM, explanation of our programs, tour of the current exhibitions, and state future plans and goals of the Museum.

After 100 hours of Volunteer time and Docent training a Docent will become certified to lead tours.
