Volunteer

We are always looking for support from car enthusiasts and friends in our community.

We have an amazing volunteer staff and you can be one of them! 

If you have a passion and are interested in supporting a great cause, please select ‘APPLY’ and fill out the application.

We are always looking for the following positions:

  • This role is very important to the museum as the tour guides show our guests the full experience about the collection and equipment. (You are not expected to learn everything there is to know in the museum to be a tour guide). We will make sure you are prepared and have all the help you need. There is definitely a lot of information, but don't be afraid if you are really interested in helping us out! 

  • This role is to help our guests have the best experience possible answering questions they might have, greeting them, directing them to the restrooms or theater, give them a brief overview of the museum, and most importantly enjoy them and the time you spend with them! 

  • We have a number of special events held through-out the year.  It's wonderful to have Special Event Assistants work these events to help crowd control, show where different items are located, and over all just help the guests feel comfortable and have a positive experience.

    • Computer work, scanning, etc.

    • Librarian

    • Research

    • Restoration work

Our enthusiastic group of volunteers, called the Knock-Offs, are a diverse group of enthusiasts.

Our volunteers come from all backgrounds but share one thing in common: an interest in Shelby American cars and helping to educate others on the fantastic history of the cars of Shelby American. Volunteer training courses are scheduled based on the current needs of the Museum. Volunteer applications are always accepted, but are filed until the next training class is held. Please note the following volunteer requirements:
