The Port Moody Station Museum is excited to be offering a Unique Experience for students! We are looking for volunteers to help with some events , and in exchange they will get the hours they need for school, have fun meeting new people. There will be two workshops to choose from. We will have an Indesign Workshop, where they will learn basic skills of how Indesign operates ( looks great on the resume) or they can take our Collection Management Workshop, where they will learn about creating exhibits, how to handle artifacts and how to manage a museum collection. As a team, the volunteers will then create an exhibition together! 

If you have any students who would be interested in this please them to email us at info@portmoodymuseum.org
