Help Bring Our Maritime Mission to Life
Volunteers are an integral part of the Maritime Museums. Our dedicated volunteers assist with programming, support special projects and help expand the visitor experience. Many of the visions of the Museum in Beaufort become a reality because active people in our community choose to take part.
