ACM student volunteer programme

Asian Civilisations Museum is dedicated to host student volunteers. We hope they may serve and learn while volunteering with us. Recruitment is open to students from upper secondary, junior colleges, polytechnics and universities.

 

Types of volunteer programmes available for students

  - Student Guides (junior college only) – Thematic Tour
  - Student Guides (upper secondary only) – History Themed Tour
  - Work Experience
  - Event Volunteer

Instead of receiving a stipend for their contribution, each student will receive a Certificate of Appreciation at the end of their volunteering stint.

(A) Student Guides (junior college only) – Thematic Tour
Successful applicants will need to go through 10 hours of training sessions and expected to guide 4 classes of their own peers throughout the 1-year before they guide the general public. The school will arrange its own school's visits to the ACM. The tours can take place on weekday afternoons and/or according to timings that fit the students' schedule.

(B) Student Guides (upper secondary only) – History Themed Tour
We will train 8 students from one school at any one time. To meet its minimum requirement, these 8 student guides will have to lead a minimum of 3 lower secondary classes from their respective schools. The school will arrange its own school's visits to the ACM.
Booking for this programme is on a first-come-first-serve basis and subjected to availability.

(C) Work Experience
Aside from guiding, the museum also seeks students who are keen on working here. With the support from the school, each school may send between two to four students ranging from the upper secondary to junior college per attachment. Students will be working full-time for a two week period during the June or December school holidays. Subjected to availability.

(D) Event Volunteer
Our museum observes numerous Open Houses and a whole range of educational programmes each year. Many of these events need volunteers to ensure smooth operation as well as a meaningful experience for the visitors. Volunteers are expected to help out in at least two events per year. Availability of slots are depending on our Festivals or Events schedule.
