Volunteer Program – IME

Join our Volunteer Community

The Indian Music Experience Museum’s Volunteer Programme has been running since 2017. Our volunteers serve as vital liaisons, regularly engaging with visitors to create vibrant experiences. They play a pivotal role in animating our space with narratives, interactive activities, and joyful interactions, transforming the museum into a dynamic centre of discovery. At IME, volunteers facilitate guided tours for schools, weekend visitors, and artists. They also provide crucial assistance during events and workshops, supporting museum initiatives as needed. Our volunteers belong to the age group of 15 – 82 years and have been volunteering their time with us for more than 7 years. The IME Volunteer Program offers a chance to people passionate about music and the arts to contribute meaningfully to the museum and gain exposure to the behind-the-scenes workings of a museum in a range of roles. The Rereeti Foundation was instrumental in launching the programme. They helped nurture and develop the community before handing it over to the museum for in-house management in 2023.

Our Volunteer recruitment drive takes place once a year between July and August. The Open Call is shared on the museum website and social media handles. For more information on volunteering, please write to specialprojects@indianmusicexperience.org
