About Volunteer at the LBJ Presidential Library
Volunteer at the LBJ Presidential Library! Our volunteers have the can-do spirit that President Lyndon B. Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson encouraged in all people. We depend on their valuable time and talents to welcome visitors, school groups, and researchers, as well as work behind the scenes on various projects. With thousands of hours of donated time, they are an essential part of helping us achieve our goals as an institution.
Currently, the Library does not have on-site volunteer opportunities due to pandemic. However, we continue to recruit and connect with our volunteers virtually until it is safe to have visitor tours again.
Opportunities to include:
Gallery Attendant
Attendants staff the information desk, monitor the galleries, answer questions, and direct visitors.
Tour Docent
Tour docents guide museum visitors, including student and adult groups, through our permanent and temporary exhibition spaces.
Requirements
- The library is a federal facility and thus all potential volunteers must submit to a background check through the federal government.
- Over the age of 18
- Professional attire
- Time: three hours per week, one-year commitment. If you are a student, we are more than happy to accommodate your schedule through your summer and holiday breaks.
Perks
- Annual volunteer dinner
- Annual spring volunteer recognition luncheon
- Discount in The Store at LBJ, the library's museum gift shop
- Discount in joining the library's premier membership group, the Friends of the LBJ Library
- Gifts and acknowledgments for continued service
To join or for more information or questions, contact our Volunteer Office at (512) 721-0225 or [email protected].
