Volunteer
Get involved with volunteering and placement opportunities at The Box to meet people, learn something new and share your knowledge.
In 2026 be a part of something amazing and support two of our landmark exhibitions starting with Beryl Cook: Pride & Joy in January and Journeys with Mai in February.
Join our weekend volunteer team of Gallery Guides and immerse yourself in the worlds of Beryl Cook and Joshua Reynolds, helping our visitors to enjoy these incredible artists.
Our volunteer Gallery Guides connect visitors to our incredible collections and exhibitions ensuring everyone can enjoy their visit. We provide training and a settling in period so you don’t have to be an expert to get involved! Maybe you’re looking for gallery and museum experience, you want to learn something new or you’d like to meet new people? Whatever your motivation, all are welcome and we’d love to meet you. Sign up now!

Applications for work experience placements are managed via the Plymouth City Council Work Experience Scheme. Please head to Plymouth City Council's website for more information.
