Watch the Volunteer Appreciation Event now!

Last week, the Office of Visitor Services and Volunteer Management (OVS) hosted the Smithsonian Volunteer Appreciation Event, a virtual program designed to honor, recognize, and engage volunteers across the Institution.

During the gathering, Secretary Bunch answered volunteer questions, viewers were given a “sneak-peek” of the upcoming FUTURES exhibition at the Arts and Industries Building, and Smithsonian staff highlighted examples of outstanding volunteerism.

Volunteers play a vital role at @Smithsonian. During the pandemic, volunteering with the Smithsonian has looked a little different. Still, our volunteers excel at finding creative ways to serve. Thank you for powering our mission and it was great to video chat with many of you! pic.twitter.com/quokBqMKwd
