Volunteer

We have volunteer opportunities to fit every interest and schedule. From special events or preparing Christmas decorations to guiding tours or working in the gardens, we can offer an experience to inspire you.

Craft and Garden Shop

Sweets and treats are waiting for you at the Tryon Palace Craft and Garden Shop. Located on the Palace grounds (directly behind the Stable Office), this unique little shop has something for visitors of all ages.

Education Volunteers

Volunteer opportunities include:

A few of Education’s opportunities have limited spaces available, including working in the Costume Shop assisting our Historic Costumer creating period clothing and our youth volunteer program for high schoolers interested in public history.
