Volunteer Work for Alce Su Voz for Fall 2022

Wish Granters are volunteers that meet with a wish kid and their family in pairs to help them determine their one true wish. Wish Granters get to know the wish child by asking them their favorite things, playing games and interacting with them to really understand the most important parts of their wish. Wish Granters are trained by Make-A-Wish staff to ensure they are comfortable and have everything they need to help make the child's wish come true.  The Wish Granters work with the Make-A-Wish staff to make the wish come true.  It is a very rewarding volunteer opportunity which will bring hope, strength and joy to these amazing kids.

Gift Shop Attendant

Our Amelia's Landing sells a variety of aviation themed items. Gift Shop attendants will assist with sales, stocking, and keeping the gift shop and lobby clean and attractive to our museum guests. 

This is the first point of contact for most of our guests so the gift shop attendants need to have strong customer service skills. Prior cashier skills are valued but we are happy to train if needed. 

If you would like to volunteer in the gift shop but do not want the responsibility of handling the register duties, we are happy to have your help in stocking shelves, folding museum brochures, assisting guests with questions about where the exhibits are in the museum, and light cleaning duties in the gift shop and lobby area.

Tour Guides aka Docents

Kansans truly value Kansas history, especially aviation history, and represent our largest group of visitors. But the museum also hosts visitors from all over the country and the world.

As a tour guide, you’ll meet some of the nicest people in the world, all interested in the story of Kansas aviation. They could be members of a local Scout troop, school children on a field trip, a family on vacation from another state, or executives from another country.

Since we opened in 1991, we’ve had visitors from all 50 states and from every country in the world. As a museum tour guide, you can be right there to meet these interesting folks, sharing the fascinating history of Kansas aviation and the story of our beautiful art deco building which is on the register of National Historical Buildings.

Education

Our education programs are possible because of volunteers who enjoy working with children. There are two types of education volunteers: those who help us keep the Lattner Learning Classroom, Boeing STEM Learning Hangar, and the Lattner Hanger fun places for the children to learn and play; and those who want to assist with tours when we host groups of children from kindergarten through high school.

The educational tour volunteers may help children find the right supplies to create with, show them how the simulator talks with the mock control tower, or even help them decide if they’d like to color or build. Our group volunteers will learn about the different activities within a school tour program and work with a group of students to help them learn principles of flight and engineering while they are here. You needn’t be an engineer to volunteer; though several of our volunteers are, we will train you and help you feel comfortable answering questions.

Catalog, identify and file books, periodicals, papers, pictures, etc. College students and retired adults encouraged to apply.

Just imagine walking into our lobby and instantly stepping back into the 1930’s when air travel was new and exciting. That’s the vision we have, and we’re not stopping until that vision is realized. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum’s home is the original Wichita Municipal Airport terminal. The exterior of this grand art deco building has been restored, but there is much work to do inside.

Our building restoration workers range from Eagle Scouts to retirees. All, however, have one thing in common: they love this unique and remarkable building. Building restoration projects range in size and complexity, so we need volunteers with a variety of skills and talents. Whether you are a Jack-(or Jill)-of-all-trades, a licensed contractor or engineer, or somewhere in between, you’ll find a welcoming group to join. From painting and carpentry to landscape and electrical work, we need your skills.
