Volunteer Opportunities include, but are not limited to:
Tour Escorts
Our tour escorts are a core part of the Kentucky Derby Museum experience as they help guests during our historic walking tour of Churchill Downs. After a certain number of hours Volunteers also have the ability to escort our Backstretch Breakfast Tours where visitors receive a behind the scenes look at the Churchill Downs Infield and might even catch some horses on the track.
Events
Our Events Volunteers assist with a wide variety of activities such as helping visitors design their very own Derby hat or decorate horseshoes. These events are designed to bring the vibrant energy of The Derby to groups in and outside of the Kentucky Derby Museum.
Docent
The Kentucky Derby Museum welcomes hundreds of school children during the year. Docents play a key role in school visits by presenting various exhibitions to school groups throughout the year.
Independent Projects
From assisting our retail department to cataloging and clerical work, these Volunteers help Museum staff with crucial day to day projects.
