Two of Billings’ prestigious cultural and education institutions are joining forces to present the Billings Youth Volunteer Program.
🔎 10-week program for the summer of 2026 with one shift per week
For students in 4th to 8th grade
🔎 Hands-on training for working in a museum: customer service, script content history, presentation techniques, critical thinking, and discussion facilitation.
🔎 Responsibilities include assisting with visitor services, daily museum tasks, learning specific exhibit and tour materials, as well as aiding with collections and program development during one shift per week.
Through this award-winning program, students will be encouraged to build confidence in personal skills, including making observations, listening, problem solving and public speaking. They will receive hands-on training through job shadowing, and project preparation from staff at both partner institutions. Students will attend an orientation session at the Moss Mansion and will select which museum they will work at first, and what shift they would like to work. In July, the two groups will switch museums for a chance to learn about the other. In August, each student will showcase a chosen artifact from either museum in a professional student exhibit at the Western Heritage Center
The program begins June 8th, applications are due by May 25th.
