Volunteer Volunteer program at the National Museums of Kenya

 The National Museums of Kenya is a unique institution that manages three World Heritage Sites, twenty-two Museums and over a hundred Sites and Monuments across Kenya. The East Africa Natural History Society established the museum in 1910 with an aim of conducting scientific research in East Africa. The National Museums of Kenya is now a state corporation, whose mission is to collect, document, preserve, study and present the past and present cultural and natural heritage; and to enhance knowledge, appreciation and respect, management and use of these resources for the benefit of Kenya and the world. The museum has become a leading center of excellence, housing world-class museum collections and exhibits. One of its main objectives is to create public awareness about the importance of conservation, and in particular of preserving Kenya's unique natural and cultural diversity. This is achieved through public programmes such as permanent, temporary and travelling exhibitions, educational programmes for the youth, and the production of Museum publications.
The National Museums of Kenya headquarters is located in Nairobi. The volunteer project will collaborate with Mombasa and Lamu National Museums.

Volunteers' major duties include:
  • Documenting historical data
  • Educating the local people of the importance of National heritage preservation
  • Designing information package for tourists and marketing Kenya as a holiday destination

    • The volunteers will be working Monday through Friday, 8 hours a day.
Special requirements:
Conservationists, environmentalists, acheologists, anhropologist (students and graduates) are required for this project. However, we have an open policy and applicants with other ideas to share are also welcome to apply and will be considered.
Volunteers need to contribute/initiate ideas and by that would be promoting the growth of the institution. This is an opportunity for the volunteers to work at a community/grassroot level in capacity building and training in self-sustainability.
Project language: English
Age range: 19 and over
Duration of the project: The program will run for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 6 months. The program is running throughout the year.
