The Chinese American Museum Is
Currently Seeking Volunteer Gallery-sitters!

What are the benefits of a Gallery-sitter?
Working as a gallery-sitter places you within a rich learning environment where you will enjoy an up-close-and-personal look at the Museum and its exhibits. Through interactions with the exhibits and the community, you will be able to attain a more intimate knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Chinese American history, culture, and experiences.

What are the responsibilities of a Gallery-sitter?
Gallery-sitters will help to ensure the safety of exhibits by preventing visitors from any direct, physical interactions with the artifacts. They will also help visitors observe the “no eating/drinking/smoking” policy inside the Museum. In a sense, Gallery-sitters will act as a security measure against any unruly or inappropriate behavior from the public, while inside the Museum. On occasions, Gallery-sitters will answer general questions from the public about the exhibits.
