Do you love art, helping people, and working in a beautiful, stimulating environment? Are you looking for new pursuits? Do you have four hours to spare every week or two? If so, why not consider becoming a volunteer at the Getty Center in Los Angeles or the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades?
As a Visitor Services volunteer, you'll greet Getty visitors; answer their questions about the Getty Center or Getty Villa; assist with special events and projects; and sometimes help out in offices throughout the Getty.
Ages 18 and up welcome. Fluency in more than one language helpful but not required; no previous arts experience necessary. Ongoing training is provided. Weekday, weekend, and evening shifts are available and can accommodate a variety of schedules.
