Volunteer at the USS Hornet Museum!

The NVO is the first step for new volunteers, regardless of their area of interest. You learn  information about the Museum as well as the ins and outs of interacting with other volunteers, staff, and the public. To learn more about what volunteering opportunities are available, you can visit our webpage uss-hornet.org/support/volunteer.  To register to attend this upcoming NVO, you can fill out our online application form (CLICK HERE), email us at volunteers@uss-hornet.org, or call (510) 521-8448 x243. We look forward to having you aboard!

The USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum depends upon the service of a dedicated volunteer crew for success. Our volunteers become shipmates who actively participate in the staffing and operation of this historic aircraft carrier.

Become part of the ongoing history and legacy of the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, an American icon of World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Apollo 11 & Apollo 12 recovery missions! Help preserve the ship and her history by sharing your time, skills, experience, labor, and/or knowledge!

Please note that many volunteer positions require walking, climbing ship’s ladders (stairs), and maneuvering tight passageways. For more information, visit our Accessibility Page.
