Exhibition Engagement Volunteer - Dunfermline

We are OnFife, a registered charity, and we know how valuable creativity is to our communities. Our spaces are some of Fife’s favourite places: museums, theatres, galleries, libraries, and archives.

We are looking for volunteers to support a new exhibition: “Before and After Coal” from 7th December 2024 – 13th April 2025 in Kirkcaldy Galleries, to help us create a warm, welcoming environment for visitors.

The Exhibition Engagement volunteer opportunity involves welcoming visitors, sharing information about the fascinating exhibits and gathering valuable feedback. If you are interested in heritage and culture and would like to make a difference by inspiring visitors, this might be the role for you. You will have the opportunity to enhance your confidence, widen your knowledge of Fife’s heritage as well as gaining experience of cultural engagement.


Whether you can join us for the entire exhibition duration, or part of it, your contribution will be greatly appreciated.
