Volunteerism is a core value at The National WWII Museum. Each day, our dedicated Volunteers connect with history and engage with visitors from around the world, all while being part of a community that values learning and remembrance.
Since our opening in 2000, our generous Volunteer Krewe has contributed over one million hours of their time in service to the Museum. Volunteers have helped the Museum honor the legacy of those who served and sacrificed during the war that changed the world, and continue to tell their stories through wayfinding, interpretation, hosting, and various other forms of service across campus. They also serve as key ambassadors in our local community, raising awareness about the significance of the Museum's mission and impact.
Volunteer Hall of Fame
The National WWII Museum’s Volunteer Hall of Fame recognizes the outstanding achievement of individual Volunteers who each have contributed over 5,000 hours in exceptional service to the Museum. Their efforts exemplify the high standards of volunteerism, and their passion, reliability, and spirit of service have left a lasting impact on our mission and upon those we serve as we tell the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world.
