Volunteer: Tour Guide for Field Trips to The Bakken MuseumThe Bakken Museum is seeking guides for our museum tours throughout the year, especially to support our field trip program during the school year.

Experience with school children and with diverse populations is strongly recommended, and a background or interest in STEM-related curriculum is preferred. We ask volunteers to commit to a weekly or biweekly shift. Shifts include 2 tours with a brief break, taking place on weekday mornings, starting at 9:30, 10, or 10:30am. Our volunteer tour guides must be compassionate individuals capable of managing time, managing groups of students, and delivering science content with accuracy and enthusiasm.

Volunteer: Gardens and Grounds AssistantThe Bakken Museum sits on nearly three beautiful acres of land on the west side of Bde Maka Ska. Our unique urban landscape includes some major surprises for garden enthusiasts, including prairie and wetland restoration areas, a medicinal plant garden, an organic vegetable garden, and much more.

Work includes planting in-pots and in-ground, spring site preparation, weeding, watering, pruning, installing bird feeders, and so much more. Jobs range from mild primping to more strenuous projects. We invite volunteers to join for regular weekly work on Saturday mornings. Additionally, we can host groups of up to 50 people to support gardening and landscaping efforts. In 2025, work will begin on Saturday, May 3. To get involved, please complete our application to volunteer! And then sign up to participate here!
