Heritage Association Volunteers
Volunteers are our ambassadors and a key component to the success of our programming at the Frisco Heritage Center and Museum.
Our volunteers tell us they have gotten to know their own community better through volunteering, and that they enjoy making new friends and sharing Frisco’s history with guests from around the world. Because they are special, Heritage Association volunteers receive invitations to museum educational programs, special tours, exhibit openings, a gift shop discount, and an annual volunteer appreciation event.

Heritage Association volunteers are trained and serve in the following capacities:
- Museum floor greeter
- School tour leader
- Third Sunday Open House docent

Volunteer Q & A
Your time and energy is valuable. Sharing it with us is a decision we hope you will make. We know you have questions, so let us try to answer some of them for you and make your decision easier.
Who Can Be a Volunteer?
The Heritage Association’s volunteer program is open to men and women eighteen years of age or older. Teens age 13-17 have the opportunity to participate as volunteers in special events and projects as appropriate. Younger volunteers must have adult supervision. We do ask that you become a member of the association prior to becoming a volunteer.
What Are the Qualifications?
No previous experience is required, and there are no qualifications. However, some positions require certain skills and stamina. For example, docents for our Third Sunday Open House event must be able to manage small groups of varying ages, speak loudly enough for visitors to hear, and be physically fit enough to lead tours through the historic structure he/she is assigned to.
What is Expected of Me?
Remember at all times you are an ambassador for the City of Frisco, the Frisco Heritage Center & Museum, and the Frisco Heritage Association.
- Dress appropriately
- Check in on time
- Be friendly, patient and helpful
- Record your hours
Will I Receive Training?
Once the Heritage Association accepts you as a volunteer, you will be trained for all jobs you are interested in doing. We will make every effort to accommodate your requests, and job requirements will be discussed with you before you are assigned a position. Docents attend an orientation and are given scripts to acquaint them with a variety of tours.
Are There Jobs That Don’t Require Standing/Walking?
Yes! Third Sunday craft and game volunteers often sit at a table and assist children with coloring, gluing, playing Bingo, etc.
