The Smithsonian benefits from the work of thousands of passionate volunteers who support the organization on-site in our museums, zoo, and other facilities.

Today, digital technology makes it possible for people who believe in the Smithsonian mission to make significant contributions online. "Digital Volunteers" can now take on important assignments to expand access to the Smithsonian's massive collections, and can participate in a variety of research programs. Some roles require special knowledge or skill, but many do not.

Selected opportunities are described below.

Launched in July 2013, the Smithsonian Transcription Center seeks to engage the public in making our collections more accessible. Citizen scholars are invited to transcribe historic documents including diaries and working papers of prominent Americans and records associated with the Smithsonian's vast scientific collections. Transcription makes these important materials more accessible to researchers around the world, as well as the general public.

To date, more than ten thousand citizen scholars have come to the Transcription Center and engaged with the wide array of documents posted there by Smithsonian archivists and curators—from field notebooks surveying snakes and reptiles in South Dakota in 1894 to the diaries of Leo Baekeland, the American chemist and founder of the modern plastics industry.

To learn more about this opportunity and get involved as a citizen scholar, visit the Smithsonian Transcription Center.

The Smithsonian seeks digital volunteers to assist in contributing content to Wikipedia related to our collections and areas of expertise. Improving the quality and quantity of reliable information on Wikipedia, as well as usage of Smithsonian resources on the site, helps meet our mission, the "increase and diffusion of knowledge." We seek experienced and motivated Wikipedia editors who are technically proficient in both the software and the norms of the Wikimedia community. To find out more about how to become a Wikipedia volunteer for the Smithsonian, visit the Smithsonian Institution's WikiProject.

Anyone can contribute. Improve access to history by transcribing, reviewing, and tagging Library of Congress documents.

The Library of Congress launched By the People (crowd.loc.gov) in the autumn of 2018. The application invites you to transcribe, review, and tag digitized images of manuscripts and typed materials from the Library’s collections.  All transcriptions are made and reviewed by volunteers before they are returned to loc.gov, the Library's website. These transcriptions will improve search, readability, and access to handwritten and typed documents for those who are not fully sighted or cannot read the handwriting of the original documents. Check out the FAQs in our Help Center for more detailed information.

Be My Eyes is a free mobile app with one main goal: to make the world more accessible for blind and low-vision people. The app connects blind and low-vision individuals with sighted volunteers and companies from all over the world through a live video call.

Since we launched in January 2015, more than 2,000,000 volunteers have signed up to assist blind and low-vision users. Be My Eyes users can request assistance in over 180 languages making the app the biggest online community for blind and low-vision people as well as one of the largest micro-volunteering platforms in the world! Every day, volunteers sign onto Be My Eyes to lend their sight to blind and low-vision individuals to tackle challenges and solve problems together.

The Be My Eyes story started in Denmark in 2012 with Hans Jørgen Wiberg, a Danish furniture craftsman, who is visually impaired himself. Through his work at ‘The Danish Association of the Blind’, he recognized that blind or low-vision people often needed a little assistance to solve everyday tasks. However, it wasn’t until a blind friend told him that he used video calls to connect with family and friends, who could help him with these tasks, that Hans Jørgen got the idea for Be My Eyes. He believed that the technology of video calls could be used to visually assist blind or low-vision individuals, without them having to rely on friends and family, but using a network of volunteers.

We need more than coaches to make First Tee possible. We rely on volunteers — sometimes year-round — to accomplish our mission, and not all of those goals involve golf. We also need support off the course to deliver our program to kids and teens in the community and recreation centers in our communities. 

Outreach Volunteers assist the First Tee Staff, Coaches, and Youth Leaders at the center by: Providing basic sports instruction, monitoring safety zones, organizing groups, and leading activity stations.

For more information, view the attached document for program dates and details.

First Tee, we help kids discover what’s inside of them, guide them to strengthen it and mentor them to put it into action in everything they do. 

To do this, we need enthusiastic and caring individuals to serve as positive mentors and role models to kids and teens of various backgrounds. Our coaches’ ability to develop impactful relationships with our participants is the backbone of our program. 

You don’t have to be a golf pro (or even a good golfer), we will provide the training you need! 

Volunteer Coaches on the golf course assist First Tee Head Coaches by: providing basic golf instruction, reinforcing class concepts (life skills), leading activity stations, and monitoring safety zones.

The safety of our kids is our top priority. That is why all volunteers are required to complete a chapter provided background check, Safesport Training, and waiver before volunteering.

To get started, please visit the volunteer page on our website. 

Volunteer coaches can choose to participate in one or multiple weekly program sessions. Although we do ask that you are present for at least half of the session that you register for.

Classes are available in the morning, afternoon, and early evening. We will work with you to find a fit for your schedule. Don’t have a lot of time to commit? No worries! You can volunteer on your own time as a substitute volunteer.

An Angel Feet Ambassador is someone who helps promotes and bring awareness about our Angel Feet program and helps collect NEW Socks and NEW tennis Shoes for precious "Angels" around the world.

Missions In Motion International Ministries' Angel Feet program allows groups and individuals to donate NEW Socks and NEW tennis Shoes that will be hand-delivered to those in need. We have visited various parts of the USA as well as developing nations and have seen the need for children whom we call "Angels" to have socks and shoes so they can attend school. The socks and shoes also provide protection from everyday germs and infection. Our Angel Feet program has the amazing opportunity to serve people in the USA as well as developing nations. We get the honor of cleaning the Angels' precious feet, then we put NEW SOCKS and NEW tennis SHOES on them. We have personally seen where just the simple washing of their feet has calmed a crying baby, put a smile on a mama’s face knowing her child now has socks and shoes, as well as a smile on a child’s face! A group of teenage boys were so excited to have a pair of shoes that fit their feet! 

You can also join us on a trip and help wash the children's feet and put new socks and new shoes on them.

This is an activity to familiarize yourself with Community Connect and to learn how to search for and "respond" to volunteer opportunities. First, you should explore the website and practice searching for opportunities. This online system is a valuable resource and tool made available for your success.  Whether you are seeking opportunities as an individual or part of a group, using this platform will open doors for networking and the potential for earning service awards at Miami University Regionals.

Hitting respond alerts a non-profit that you are interested in volunteering with their organization. They will then reach out to you with next steps. For this activity, you will not need to take any further steps with our office.

The Best Buddies Citizens program matches adults with IDD (intellectual and developmental disabilities) in one-to-one friendships with adults without IDD from the community. By spending time with one another, the lives of both individuals are enhanced through a mutually-enriching friendship. The citizens program is essential in providing social opportunities for adults with IDD, who are often isolated and have little opportunity to interact with their adult peers. The matches are made between two individuals based on age, personality and interests, as well as proximity. We are looking for community members in the Fairfield, Hamilton,Liberty Township areas.  Check out the link for more information. https://www.bestbuddies.org/ohio/
