Each year hundreds of volunteers, men and women from age fourteen to
eighty-five, provide valued services to the Gallery in many ways.
Our newest volunteer program is the Roaming Ambassador Program. On Friday evenings in spring 2009, armed with a messenger bag full of information, they will be able to assist visitors with wayfinding, information about current and upcoming exhibitions and programs, and even a checklist of the works of art on view. The Roaming Ambassadors are part of the Gallery’s commitment to make the museum ever more accessible for every visitor, from the seasoned member to the first-time guest. The Roaming Ambassador program is an extension of the Guest Services department. If you are interested in becoming part of the team, please contact our Head of Guest Services, Joe Gerace, at 716.270.8224 to schedule an appointment.
We will be taking applications in early 2010 for our next docent training class, which will take place in 2010-11. Please check our website for an application at that time.
Independent volunteers donate their time in the Gallery Shop and the G. Robert Strauss, Jr. Memorial Library. Trained volunteers also staff the Information Desk, playing an important role in assisting visitors.
Volunteer Groups: The Members' Council and Junior Group concentrate on important fundraising projects and the promotion of the Gallery in the community.
