The mission of the Lowe Art Museum's Volunteer Program is to engage and empower a diverse community of volunteers who are passionate about preserving and sharing the rich cultural heritage housed within the museum. Through meaningful and impactful volunteer experiences, we aim to foster a vibrant and inclusive environment that supports the museum’s mission of education, inspiration, and community outreach. Together, we strive to enhance the visitor experience, promote lifelong learning, and ensure the preservation of our valuable artworks and artifacts for future generations. By leveraging the collective talents and dedication of our volunteers, we endeavor to create a lasting impact in the community by promoting a deep appreciation and understanding of our cultural heritage.
The Volunteer Program:
- Provides training to community volunteers to enable them to guide groups of children, teens/students, and adults who visit the museum;
- Provides opportunities for supporting the general operations and functions of the museum through administrative tasks, event assistance, exhibit preparation, project research, and other experiences;
- Enriches its members’ knowledge and understanding of art and art history through a wide range of dynamic and engaging continuing education opportunities;
- Provides opportunities for cultural enrichment through its support of the museum, its exhibitions, lectures, and other activities; and
- Works with the Education and Volunteer Programs Lead and museum staff to broaden the reach of the University of Miami to the Miami-Dade community.
